In 377 CE, Valens has concentrated his forces against the Goths, leaving Rome’s eastern provinces exposed to Shapur II and the Sasanian Empire. Pavo and a selected group from the XI Claudia are sent across the frontier on a covert mission intended to prevent a second major war.

The legionaries enter an unfamiliar desert world of client kingdoms, rival religions and concealed objectives. For Pavo, the expedition also offers a path toward the truth about his father, placing the fate of the empire beside a mystery that has shaped his own life.
