Icarus - Chris Turner - Bog

122 AD. A rebellious teen, Icarus, makes his mark in the streets of Roman Londinium. Hooligan or Vigilante? Icarus's gang associations are plagued with 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. Amidst gladiator battles and skirmishes with barbarians, Icarus's plight leads him along a path of full-blooded adventure. Will his efforts to save his father from an oppressive extortion racket bring him to ruin? Or can he rise above the tragic fate of the Icarus legend and unfold his true destiny? A gripping, coming-of-age tale set in an Iron Age world that shaped western history. A time when building a border wall from coast to coast was but a fuzzy dream in Emperor Hadrian's head.
