Rome and Hispania, 45 BCE. After victory in Africa, opposition to Caesar survives under Pompey’s sons and Titus Labienus. Before departing, Fronto investigates a connected series of disturbances amid triumphs, resentment and a capital increasingly uneasy with the honours granted to its dominant general.
The final campaign carries the veterans to Hispania, where the rebel army is cornered but experienced and desperate. At Munda, Caesar confronts the hardest battle of the civil war and Fronto must give everything to preserve comrades and cause. Military victory can end organised resistance, yet the Republic that emerges is more dependent on one man than ever.
