Roman Mesopotamia, AD 360. Centurion Decian marches with the first reinforcement army toward Sathra, a frontier city guarding a vital river crossing. Persian riders are cutting the roads. The column carries grain, wounded soldiers and refugees. Every delay gives the enemy time to close the trap.

Decian wants to bring his men through alive. Ambushes, broken wagons and families stranded along the road force him to decide who else belongs under their protection.

Inside Sathra, soldiers repair walls while households search for shelter. Every beam, cart and sack of grain is already promised to someone. Outside, the Persian commander Vahram is gathering his forces around the city.

Then orders send Decian back beyond the gates.

Grain remains at an exposed depot. Without it, Sathra will enter the siege with too little food. Bringing it home means taking a convoy through country the enemy is determined to hold-and knowing when to abandon a load before it costs the whole column.

The roads are closing. What Decian can bring back will help decide how long the people behind the walls can hold.

Road of Spears opens The Eastern Gate trilogy, a brutal Roman military epic of ambush, sacrifice and a city preparing for siege.
