Hadrian’s Wall, AD 382. After years of relative peace, Tribune Sixtus Victorinus has settled into service under Flavius Maximus while his sons grow towards adulthood. Warning signs from the north suggest that the frontier is again becoming unstable.

The immediate threat from Caledonian tribes conceals a larger political danger. Maximus’s ambition and the possibility of a new western usurper place Victorinus and his comrades between frontier warfare and a plot that may decide who controls the western empire.
