The Rhine frontier. The Tungrians are ordered across the river into Germania to seize a priestess believed to hold dangerous influence over Rome’s enemies. What begins as an abduction mission becomes a fight for survival inside a hostile landscape.

Marcus Valerius Aquila and his comrades face sabotage before they even cross the frontier. The operation exposes the fragility of Roman control beyond the limes and the way religion, reputation and revenge can unite opponents who otherwise share little.
