About this listen

The year is AD 86, over a hundred years since Caesar's blood stained the white marble of Pompey's Curia and fifty-three years since an obscure Jew's crucifixion in Judaea. The Roman Empire is a machine that devours everything in its path. War is imminent, war is permanent, and conquest is divine.

When young Roman officer Septimus and his legion are surprised and annihilated by the Dacians at the Battle of the Iron Gates, the young man and a small group of legionaries survive but now find themselves in a desperate race for survival. Across the Danube lies Roman territory and safety, but Septimus soon discovers other dangers north of the river. Something else hunts for Roman blood, something ancient and hungry in the dark, determined to make the young man its own.

To save his men and fulfill his duty, Septimus must face this threat and the rapidly growing realization that fate waits for no man. No-one outruns his destiny.
