A New Phase Begins Trench warfare has come to the ancient world and the results are brutal and deadly. As men are thrown into the meat grinder of the trenches and the war expands to Greece, Ky and Lucilla work to find new ways to regain the upper hand against the invaders. Ky attempts to bring a new weapon to the battlefield to help defeat the massive eastern hordes while Lucilla struggles to keep the western alliance together and strong. Their advantages may be short-lived, however, after the discovery of shipments of their most advanced weapons in the hands of supposed allies but headed toward their eastern enemies. As alliances shift and allies reveal their true colors, can Britannia adapt to a new age of warfare, or will internal struggles and external enemies bring the empire to its knees?.
