Publius Varrus, a Roman soldier and master smith, returns to Britain as imperial authority weakens and the province faces internal disorder and attacks from beyond its frontiers. With his commander and friend Caius Britannicus, he concludes that Rome will not protect the communities its legions are preparing to abandon.
The two men begin building an independent settlement at Camulod, combining Roman discipline with alliances among Britain’s Celtic peoples. Varrus’s discovery of an unusual stone and his work as a weaponsmith create the material foundations of Excalibur, while the political and military institutions formed around the colony begin the long transformation from Roman Britain to Arthurian legend.
