The invasion of Britannia has begun. Marcus Artorius leads his army to the frigid edges of the world in order to carve his name forever into the annals of history. Whether that will be as one of Rome's greatest generals or one of its greatest failures will only be determined once thousands lie dead at his feet. However, hordes of howling barbarians are not the only thing to trouble Marcus's mind as he soon finds himself intrigued by the Iceni princess, Boudicca, while a ghost from his past haunts him from the shadows. To the south, Gaul remains unpacified. The Gallic rebels, under Tiberius Galerius's old enemy, Gesataia of the Arverni, have somehow found a source of weapons that threatens any chance of peace in the province. Tiberius must locate the source of these weapons if he is to have any hope of finally putting an end to Gesataia's rebellion and creating a prosperous home for himself, Catriona, and their growing family. Back in Rome, Gnaeus Domitius must face the ire of the Senate by himself while simultaneously coming to terms with the idea of his first child not being with the woman who holds his heart, Gaia Sicinia. Determined, despite the challenges, he shall prosecute the corrupt and the cruel until Rome is a last free from the rot threatening to destroy it from the inside. However, his enemies will not take his attacks lying down and Gnaeus soon finds himself facing a crisis far greater than he could have ever anticipated. A crisis that could see the very Republic fall and his own life end at the point of a sword.
