Germania and Britain, AD 42–43. The educated young recruit Cato joins Macro’s century in the Second Legion and must earn acceptance after an imperial order promotes him above more experienced soldiers. The legion is transferred to the force preparing to invade Britain, where the two men are also drawn into a covert mission involving imperial property and enemies of Claudius. Military training, political intrigue and the first fighting of the conquest establish their partnership.
