Britain, AD 58. Fergus MacAmergin is an exiled Irish prince passing as a Gaul while serving with auxiliary cavalry in the Roman army. He hopes military service will earn security and citizenship, but an officer’s battlefield mistake is placed upon Fergus and his men.

They are sent on a near-impossible mission connected to a sacred spear and resistance beyond Rome’s secure control. Riding under the authority of Suetonius Paulinus and the young Agricola, Fergus must navigate Roman ambition, Druid power and enemies who know his true identity while deciding whether freedom can be gained through service to an occupying empire.
