Dacia, AD 105. Flavius Ferox is sent beyond the Danube to command an isolated fort during the uneasy peace between Trajan’s Rome and King Decebalus. His garrison includes unreliable Brigantian troops, ambitious Roman officers and men whose loyalty is uncertain from the moment he arrives.

The frontier is preparing for renewed war, but danger also comes from inside the Roman camp. Ferox must control soldiers who resent him, judge Hadrian’s political motives and discover who is using the Dacian crisis to pursue a private design.
