Description
The year is 9 AD, and Publius Quinctilius Varus has been appointed by Emperor Caesar Augustus to oversee the subjugation of the Germanic people. With little experience as a military leader, Varus is determined to prove himself. However, he soon discovers that the Germanic people are not as easily conquered as he thought. As the Roman legions march into Germany, they are met with fierce resistance from seasoned veterans and novices alike. Among them is Lucius, a young man who has been conscripted into the legions, and Valerius Maximus, a young Roman tribune. Both men must navigate the treacherous world of the officer corps, where politics and loyalty can be deadly. The fates of these men soon converge in a bloody battle that will decide the course of their countries' histories. The Germanic foes launch a monstrous ambush on a stormy day, changing the course of Western civilization forever.
