Britain, AD 77–84. Appointed governor after service in Aquitania, Agricola returns with authority to extend Roman control beyond the established province. An Ordovician attack demands an immediate response, but reduced manpower and changing priorities in Rome mean every victory must be achieved with limited resources.
Forts, fleets and rapid marches carry the army north against the Caledonian peoples. Agricola seeks a decisive encounter at Mons Graupius, yet conquest does not end when an enemy line breaks. The novel sets his greatest military success against the harder questions of occupation, imperial jealousy and whether territory won at the edge of the world can be retained.
