In 360 CE, a Roman force campaigning against the Sasanian Empire is cut off and surrounded in the Persian desert. Far from reinforcement and short of water, the legionaries must maintain discipline while enemy troops and the landscape steadily reduce their chances of escape.
The prequel follows the older generation whose service shapes the later story of Pavo and the XI Claudia. Its trapped soldiers confront fear, divided loyalties and the obligations between fathers and sons as they attempt to bring the remnants of the column home.
