Rome and the northern frontier, after AD 197. Septimius Severus has defeated his rivals and campaigns in the east, leaving Rufinus as a tribune responsible for Praetorians in the capital. A disturbing letter from the north interrupts the appearance of peace and sends him towards the edge of imperial control.
Travelling with a new companion, Rufinus uncovers a secret capable of threatening more than one province. The mission forces him to reconsider people and events from his past while navigating communities that have little reason to trust an officer of the Guard. The empire may have a single ruler, but the violence of the civil wars has created dangers that victory cannot simply erase.
