In AD 265 Emperor Gallienus moves against Postumus, ruler of the breakaway Gallic Empire. Ballista and his cavalry fight on a frontier where both armies claim Roman legitimacy and where political betrayal can be as dangerous as the enemy in the field.

The campaign forces Ballista to balance obedience to Gallienus with the safety of his men and family. Retreat, ambush and divided command expose the cost of an imperial civil war fought while external enemies continue to threaten the Rhine provinces.
