Britannia and the wider Roman world after the northern fighting. Verus is celebrated by his men but condemned by his superiors after he gives rations to starving Britons. The act that he regards as basic mercy becomes evidence of disloyalty.

Cashiered and sold into slavery, Verus is sent towards the markets and labour systems of the empire. His chances narrow to survival among prisoners, traders and gladiators, while his only fixed purpose is to return to Britain and to Bryher.

Verus's enslavement exposes the legal power hidden beneath Rome's military hierarchy. A celebrated officer can be reduced to sale and transport once superiors successfully redefine him as criminal or property. His determination to return to Bryher therefore becomes a struggle against institutions as much as individual enemies, showing how status in the Roman world depends upon recognition by authorities capable of withdrawing it.
