In 1071 CE, Romanos Diogenes leads a renewed Byzantine army toward the frontier fortresses of Manzikert and Chliat. Apion rides with the emperor, aware that Alp Arslan’s Seljuk forces are not the campaign’s only threat.

Rival commanders and political opponents within the Byzantine host prepare to profit from failure. As the armies manoeuvre across eastern Anatolia, Apion must protect the emperor and his men through betrayal and battle toward Manzikert, where the balance of power in the region will be permanently altered.
