Dacia, late second century CE. Cleander uses his growing influence at court to send Rufinus away from Rome on a mission designed to be useful whether he succeeds or dies. In a province shaped by recent conquest, abandoned mines and unsettled communities conceal dangers that official reports have ignored.
Rufinus must work with soldiers and local allies while tracing a plot whose consequences reach back to the capital. Distance from Commodus offers no safety: Clodius Albinus, Pescennius Niger and other ambitious commanders are already part of the political landscape. The eagles of Dacia become the centre of a struggle over loyalty, money and imperial power.
