With two of the Bructeri tribes greatest treasures in their hands they must regain Roman territory by crossing the unforgiving wilderness that was the graveyard of Roman imperial strategy two hundred years before. And capture by the Bructeris vengeful chieftain and his warband can only end in one way - a horrific sacrificial death on the tribes altar of blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986334347317,"sku":"ByrdShop_1444732013","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781444732016_8a80f4ea-302b-4395-a257-7eabda6fb4d4.jpg?v=1778651509","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/altar-of-blood-empire-9781444732016","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
