Thadius

The cries of battle are now just a distant memory for Thadius. He has long since packed away his armor, sword, pilum and shield. Retirement in a sleepy little resort town along the coast has suited him well.
Now a widower, he bides his time gardening and spending his remaining years with his old friend Dominus drinking wine and telling tall tales of old. But, Thadius' serene world is shaken by the arrival of a desperate letter from the furthest reaches of the Republic. Summoned to the far away Island of Britannia, Thadius and Dominus are driven to solve a gruesome murder.
Hot on the trail of a serial killer Thadius and Dominus find themselves in exotic lands, mixing with barbarians of every description. Only steps behind the killer, the urgency reaches a fevered pitch as Thadius races to prevent another savage killing; but, is murder the only objective the killer has?
