59 AD e. Fifteen years after heroically fighting the barbarians of Britain during the Roman invasion, the centurion Macro returns. There is anxiety in the province. There are rumors of unrest among the tribes that have supposedly accepted Roman rule, while Londinium feels like an even more dangerous place than Rome. Macron - recently honorably discharged from the army - misses the camaraderie and drama of battle. However, all his military courage and skills will be required to survive the upcoming trials. The city is ruled by gangs of ruthless thugs. When Macron decided to resist them, the brutal attack served as his punishment and a warning to others. But the robbers made a fatal mistake. British veterans support their own. And Macro will soon have a powerful ally: Prefect Cato. Friends who have fought side by side throughout the Empire, Macro and Cato will make a formidable team. And they will fight to the death to defend the honor of Rome.
