After the removal of Roman troops from Britain, those of Roman stock left behind are suffering from the lack of jurisdiction. When the Saxons begin harrying the coastlands, the Romano-Britians determine to rebuild the armed forces of the island. There is one thing lacking: cavalry. And these men will go to the ends of the Empire to find it.

There are battles scattered throughout the story, but none described in graphic detail.

Conclusion
This is a Romano-British rendition of the Arthurian story without all its fantastical trappings. The storyline is very unique, the characters strong but not over-developed, and the situations life-like and enthralling. Recommended for young adults and up.
