Cappadocia and Cilicia, AD 194. After the Year of the Five Emperors has narrowed the field, Septimius Severus advances against Pescennius Niger’s retreating eastern army. Marcus Aquila and Scaurus are drawn into the final stage of the campaign.

Two rival claims to imperial power must be decided by battle. The novel follows veterans who wanted peace but are forced back into the line as the Severan civil war moves towards the decisive confrontation traditionally associated with Issus.
