On the outskirts of the Roman Empire, in 117 AD Scotland, the brave Centurion, Quintus Dias, heads north along with the dauntless General, Titus Virilus, and a small detachment of the Ninth Legion, after seeing his distant outpost being wiped out. Hot on the trail of the blood-thirsty Pict leader, Gorlacon, and ordered to eradicate the ever-growing menace of the fearless Caledonian tribes, instead, nearly all the men are slaughtered in an unexpected raid. Under those circumstances--trapped and encircled by the mighty warriors--a handful of survivors led by Quintus must now fight tooth and nail to return to the safety of the border before a fierce traitor leads them to their demise. However, can they escape the silent enemy's trap?—Nick Riganas
