After Mark Antony's failed Parthian campaign, Pacorus returns to Dura hoping that his daughter's marriage will provide a rare interval of peace. Instead, the wedding draws his family eastward at the moment when old enemies are settling scores and a new threat is emerging beyond the Indus.

Pacorus and the surviving Companions must protect both their own households and the unstable Parthian monarchy. Frontier war, dynastic rivalry and the ambitions of the king of kings make retirement impossible, forcing Pacorus to confront the familiar problem of a victory that merely creates the conditions for another conflict.
