One man stands against the might of the Roman Empire. His name is Caradoc. In Rome a new Emperor, Claudius, accedes the throne. But he is politically weak, enemies who would take his place circle and plot. If he is to survive Claudius needs a triumph, one that marks him as a leader of men.

AD43 and a massive invasion force, commanded by Aulus Plautius, lands on a tiny corner of Britannia. Caradoc, King of the country?s most powerful tribe, assembles an army to throw his enemy back over the water and into Gaul.
