In 1068 CE, Seljuk victories weaken Byzantium and the empire searches for a soldier capable of restoring its eastern armies. Apion has become strategos of the Chaldian frontier force and is summoned to Constantinople for the accession of Romanos Diogenes.
The ceremony becomes part of a palace conspiracy intended to redirect imperial power. Apion must protect the new emperor, navigate enemies within the capital and then lead him east before further Seljuk attacks destroy the confidence of an army already close to collapse.
