In 224 CE, Drust and Kag’s company travels to the Syrian frontier after receiving a cryptic appeal from former comrades. Near Dura-Europos, an apparent commission to capture an exotic beast conceals a more dangerous search involving a figure whose fate matters to the Roman state.

The group enters a region unsettled by the collapse of Parthian power, desert raiders and intrigue under the young emperor Severus Alexander. Betrayal inside the frontier garrison leaves them hunted in an unforgiving landscape, where solving the riddle is inseparable from finding a route home.
