In 377 CE, the Roman army in Thrace has been battered and the Goths press toward the Haemus passes. The surviving units must hold the mountain routes until Valens and Gratian can assemble field armies strong enough to relieve them.

Pavo and the XI Claudia return from Persia and are immediately sent toward the failing defences. His military duty becomes personal when those he loves are caught within the threatened region, driving him and his comrades into a campaign where every lost pass exposes another part of the empire.
