He was one of the rebellious gladiator-slaves crucified by the Romans for being part of Spartacus's uprising, and in his dying moments he called out to the gods for vengeance. Something heard him, and brought him back from the dead in exchange for his soul.
ENTER THE SOUL TRADER!
It was a time of great turmoil. Slave-turned-gladiator Aquila was amongst those crucified following Spartacus’s failed revolt. Dying a slow death, he cried out to the gods for vengeance – and Ammit the Devourer answered, offering him invulnerability in return for the souls of evil men. Now, Aquila hunts the breadth of the Empire determined to repay his unholy debt.
Aquila is a blood-soaked action adventure from the creative team of Gordon Rennie (Absalom, White Trash), Leigh Gallagher (Defoe, Bionicle) and Patrick Goddard (Savage, Sinister Dexter).
