Belisarius rises as Justinian’s most effective general, first fighting Persia on the eastern frontier. The emperor needs his victories but fears the popularity and independence they give him, making every success a possible charge of disloyalty.

Justinian then sends Belisarius to recover North Africa from the Vandals, a campaign that appears almost impossible. In Constantinople, Marcus Donatus seeks influence through Empress Theodora while court intrigue determines how the general’s achievements will be judged.
