AD 381. Five years ago a Roman governor ordered the murder of a Gothic king and his attendants. Now, the slaughtered king's powerful brother seeks revenge. For the eight legionaries who carried out the killings, the bloodshed is only just beginning.

Flavius Focalis is one of those legionaries. After surviving an attempt on his life, he seeks to warn his former comrades, for he knows their enemy is implacable.

So begins a deadly game of cat-and-mouse across the Empire, with far more than eight lives at stake. For war is coming – and the only question is: do they die now, or die later?
