Gallia, first century BC. A clash of two swords, enchanted by the Druids, transports the Roman legion and the Celtic leader to an unfamiliar world. The place in which they found themselves is called the Videssos Empire. Having concluded an armistice with the Celtic leader Viridoviks, the tribunes Mark Scavr is looking for an opportunity for himself and his people to survive in these new lands. Fortunately, the superior military skill of the Romans can provide them with a place under the sun even in a strange magical world. Becoming mercenaries, Mark and his fighters are involved in the complex and changeable policy of Videssos. Is their fate waiting for a bargaining chip in the games of the rulers or a chance to find a real new home?
