Serpent of the Waves

Tros will build a great ship to circle the globe and defy great Caesar on all the oceans of the world: Orwic, nephew of Caswallon of the Trinobantes, follows where Tros leads, to victory or perdition; Rhys, jealous and treacherous vassal, plots Tros' downfall for his own ends; Simn ben Tobias, victim of Caesar's avarice, can—if he will—outwit Tros' enemies; Chloe the dancing girl, schemer and slave, fears no man but Tros, for he is blind to her beauty.
