Britain in AD 59 stands on the brink of revolt as tensions rise between the Roman occupiers and the native tribes. Young cavalry officer Marcus Julius Severinus, raised among the Britons yet loyal to Rome, believes that both cultures can coexist, but he is drawn into the conflict that erupts after the mistreatment of Queen Boudica and the Iceni by Roman authorities. War, divided loyalties and personal sacrifice shape the destiny of Marcus and those around him as the destruction of rebellion eventually gives way to the possibility of reconciliation between Romans and Britons.
