In AD 260 the Roman eastern army collapses and Emperor Valerian is captured by Shapur I at Edessa. Ballista must survive the aftermath of the defeat while Roman command disintegrates and cities, soldiers and local rulers decide whose authority can still protect them.
The vacuum allows Odaenathus of Palmyra to emerge as the leading power in the east. Ballista’s search for safety and revenge unfolds alongside the creation of a new military order, with Zenobia and the Palmyrene court positioned between loyalty to Rome and their own ambitions.
