Spring, 359 AD. Rome teeters on the edge of disaster.

When Flavius Valerius is ordered to assemble a humble supply flotilla at Amida and drift down the Tigris to the lonely frontier fortress of Bezabde, he expects a tedious assignment. Instead, he journies straight into a storm of suspicion, treachery, and bloodshed.

Commanding only a ragged band of river rats, strangers and a poor legion escort, Valerius is forced ever deeper into the wild heart of Mesopotamia-lands of jagged mountains, ancient superstitions, and unending feuds. There, the fragile veil of Roman order unravels, and shadows close in.

Unseen by him, the great Persian king, Shapur II, gathers his armies for a cataclysmic invasion that will shake the empire's eastern frontiers to their core. But for Valerius, adrift on the river and surrounded by enemies without and within, survival itself will demand every ounce of courage.

What begins as a simple duty will become the trial of his life-a test he could never have foreseen, and one Rome itself may not survive.
