In the dog days of Rome, a mission to the edge of the world . . . First in the Brothers of the Sands trilogy from the author of The Oathsworn Series.
Drust and Kag, two ex-gladiators, are met with an unusual request. Powerful Servilius Structus sends them deep into Scotland, land of the Caledonii, to find and secure a woman and her young son.

Strained, 2nd half ok. Bought the series, few chapters into the 2nd book but will be stopping there. Reading because I bought them. Just not my thing I guess.
About the author
Robert Low was a Scottish journalist and historical novelist. He made his name with the Oathsworn Viking series, still heralded as a leading light of the genre. In later years, his series focused on Scotland through the ages, with books set during the Wars of Scottish Independence, in ancient Rome and most recently in the Scottish Borders during the reign of Henry VIII.
He was also a war correspondent, reporting from Sarajevo, Romania, Kosovo, and Vietnam over the course of his career. An avid Viking historical reenactor, he was a full time fiction author until his death in 2021.
