AD 69: The Rhine frontier has exploded into bloody rebellion, and four
centurions who once fought in the same army find themselves on opposite
sides of a vicious insurrection.

in a battle they should have won. The legions must now defend their
northern stronghold, the Old Camp, from the enraged tribes of Germany,
knowing that they cannot be relieved until the civil war raging to the
south has been resolved. Can they defend the undermanned fortress
against thousands of barbarian warriors intoxicated by a charismatic
priestess's vision of victory?
