In 376 CE, the Huns drive Gothic peoples toward the Danube and the Eastern Roman Empire struggles to reinforce its neglected frontier. Pavo, enslaved after the death of his legionary father, is forced into the XI Claudia just as the unit is ordered toward the lost Kingdom of Bosporus.

The inexperienced recruit enters a campaign shaped by court intrigue and a widening frontier crisis. To survive, Pavo must learn the discipline of the legion, earn the trust of his comrades and uncover a plot capable of turning migration and political rivalry into a war for the Roman East.
