Island of Ghosts by Gillian Bradshaw
3.0
Ariantes is a noble Sarmatian warrior, forced to serve Rome as part of the peace treaty between his king and the Emperor Marcus Auerlius. Sent to Britain to man Hadrian's Wall against the Picts, he must tread a fine line between working with the Romans for the good of his troop and Romanizing to the point that his men will no longer respect him. And when Ariantes becomes aware of a British plot against the Romans, he must decide which side to fight with.
Ariantes is a strong leader, and I really liked seeing his train of thought as he navigates the tricky waters of his new allegiances, does his best to protect his men and countrymen, and makes unexpected friends among the British and Romans.
