The Roman invasion of Britain is under way. Aulus Plautius’s legions advance inland through forest, marsh and rivers, assisted by British leaders who expect alliance with Rome to strengthen their own position. Caratacus and Togodumnus attempt to assemble tribes for a major stand at the only practicable crossing of the River Vaga, where the invaders’ engineering, discipline and supporting commanders may decide whether organised resistance can continue.
Cullen has become a recognised warrior, but Aoife the Dread sends him away from the gathering battle to recover the Whetstone of Gobannos, a sacred object that might persuade rival clans to unite. The journey forces him through contested territory while time closes on the river confrontation. His personal quest and the military campaign converge around the same problem: whether belief, kinship and leadership can overcome the divisions Rome has learned to exploit.
