The Barbarians: Warriors and Wars of the Dark Ages by Tim Newark

SideQuests are stand-alone stories or novellas that chronicle the heroes, villains, and adventures in The Foreworld Saga across numerous eras and ages. They can be listened to in any order with or without prior knowledge of The Foreworld Saga. As Mt. Vesuvius rumbles ominously, Pompeiian Councilor Valerius needs assistance in performing rituals to protect the city from the wrath of the fire-god, Vulcan. But his agenda is far from benevolent, as he cares less about quieting the volcano than taming it and taking the power for himself. Now it's up to Horatius, a former legionnaire and gladiator, to prevent Valerius's sinister rites from coming to fruition. But with Vesuvius looming over the city--and the dead rising to defend the corrupt councilor--the warrior might have fled a troubled past only to have entered a doomed future.
