Ruso rejoins the Twentieth Legion as Emperor Hadrian and Empress Sabina prepare to inspect Britain’s northern defences. At Eboracum, unexplained injuries and deaths among British recruits suggest that the legion’s celebrated discipline conceals systematic brutality.
Ruso’s questions place him against officers determined to protect the unit’s reputation, while Tilla’s sympathy for the recruits makes their position still more dangerous. The approaching imperial visit turns a local inquiry into a test of military loyalty and command.
