The Roman frontier, early third century CE. Rufinus is drawn into a region where robbery, local resistance and the ambitions of provincial officials have merged into a challenge to imperial authority. Reports of a bandit leader prove more complicated than the court’s description of a common criminal.
To end the threat, Rufinus must separate political rebellion from private exploitation and determine who profits from continued disorder. The mission tests the limits of Praetorian power far from Rome, where law is enforced by men with competing loyalties. A kingdom built outside official structures may reveal as much about Severus’s empire as the palace itself.
