Vindolanda, AD 100. Ferox continues to serve on Britannia’s northern frontier as rumours spread of threats from the sea and leaders who hope to turn instability into personal power. The Roman base is active but exposed, and distance from the centre of empire magnifies fear.

Stories of night raiders and coastal enemies force Ferox beyond the routines of garrison duty. He must separate superstition from intelligence while preventing local unrest and ambition from becoming a wider attack on Roman control.
