Rome's northern frontier is aflame with rebellion as the Gauls rise up against the Republic. Safe in his northern stronghold, Borr seizes power to become Borrix, king of the Cimbri. Still suffering from self-doubt, Borrix seeks guidance from the gods and determines to lead the Cimbri on a new purpose. When an old nemesis threatens Frida and Lingulf, Borrix must race against time to save his family.
Consul Caepio is dispatched to put down the rebellion and in doing so, discovers the Gold of Tolosa, the greatest treasure hoard ever seen. But before it can reach Rome, it disappears, never to be seen again.
Meanwhile, Gaius Marius has risen to the height of power. While he brings the Jugurthine War to an end in Africa, Marius begins the transformation of the Roman army. His newfound success emboldens his rivals and creates new enemies as fractures begin to appear in the mighty Roman Republic.
While petty jealousies divide one of the largest armies Rome has ever fielded, Borrix delivers a loss even greater than Hannibal's victory at Cannae. The Cimbri Terror grips Rome as they watch the undefended mountain passes fearfully, waiting for the invasion of the barbarian horde that is sure to come.
