Pacorus has reached a stage of life when he would prefer to celebrate old victories rather than fight another war, but a gathering at Dura is interrupted by news of rebellion in the east. Powerful Parthian interests have combined against the ruler to whom he has pledged loyalty, and the peace Pacorus spent years securing begins to collapse.

The new campaign forces old enemies into temporary alliance and makes personal loyalties inseparable from the succession politics of the Arsacid Empire. As Pacorus loses friends and leads his army back into the field, the novel focuses on the vulnerability of a kingdom in which great noble houses and semi-autonomous rulers possess enough military power to challenge the centre.
