Icarus, the son of a Roman merchant, has risen to co-leader of The Clubs of Londinium, an underground street gang. Vigilantes or mischief-makers? Are they fighting the oppression of the Roman aristocracy, or are they just street hoods? The prefect and governor of Londinium want their heads on spits.

Icarus and his four gang toughies suffer from rivalries that propel him into the sinister clutch of dark magic. The enmity of a ruthless moneylender brings the full force of Roman justice upon his head.

Will his efforts to save his father from the moneylender's loans bring him to ruin? Can he rise above the tragic fate of the Icarus of legend? Knee-deep in gladiator battles and druid magic, Icarus plunges headlong down a path of full-blooded adventure…far from his homeland, to places undreamed of.

A gripping, coming-of-age tale set in an Iron Age world that shaped western history.
