Palmyra, AD 46. Rome and Parthia compete for influence over the strategically placed desert kingdom, and Macro and Cato are sent with a small force to support its ruler. Court factions and disputed loyalties make the city as dangerous as the enemy army approaching across the frontier. Outnumbered and distant from reinforcement, the Roman officers must organise a defence while deciding which local allies will remain loyal once battle begins.
