«El Muro de Adriano» is the historical novel by William Dietrich, published by Bolsillo Byblos in paperback (528 pages, in Spanish).
In AD 122, Emperor Hadrian orders the construction of a wall to protect Roman Britain from raids by Celtic peoples. The novel follows Marcus Flavius, appointed governor of Britain after marrying Valeria, and Galba Brasidia, a patrician resentful at not having obtained that post. While passions and rivalries divide the Roman administration, the Celtic leader Arden Caratacus exploits the instability to try to drive the invaders from his lands.
The work, originally published as «Hadrian's Wall», is set in ancient Britain and combines historical fiction with adventure and military tension.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and for those who enjoy plots set in the Roman Empire and its frontiers.
