Ruin and desolation have fallen on the Roman Empire. The undead have destroyed everything in their path. The greatest city in the world in nothing more than a wasteland. Men gather in the furthest corners of the empire, preparing for their final stand. The last army of Rome, the last fighting force of mankind. Across the empire, a group of desperate friends carry with them one last hope. They must travel to the heart of the undead. They must be willing to sacrifice. They must be ready to give everything they have in order to save Rome and each other. Out of ruin there may be rebirth.

Caught between the undead horde and civil war, the Roman Empire is on the verge of destruction. Italy is in flames, and Rome is under siege by the Risen, while Titus and Otho both lay claim to the title of Emperor. Centurion Vitus Protus, Praetor Domitius, and their allies face a desperate choice. They must either stay and fight for the City of Rome or leave and survive in the wilderness left behind by the Risen.

When Roman legions march over the borders of the Empire they meet an enemy greater than any they have ever faced. Emperor Vespasian has ordered a push further into Germania than the legions have ever been, and an enemy army is gathering to meet them. What neither side is prepared for is the darker force that they will both face. Indiscriminate and incapable of mercy, the new enemy will drive the Romans to the very brink of destruction. The Gates of Hades have opened and the Roman Legions must face what has escaped.

When malevolence and chaos threaten to over-run the passenger ship, Madagascar, the search for a new life becomes a race against time. Ancient evil will tear them apart and turn the seas to blood. From the gold fields of Australia to the Indian Ocean, Seas of Blood is a tale of revenge and salvation. In 1853, when a robbery turns up more than anyone has bargained for, the lives of everybody aboard the Madagascar are put at risk. Crew and passengers face ancient malevolence, and an evil determined to seek revenge.
