Two volunteers from the crack Second Legion must venture deep into hostile territory in a desperate attempt to rescue the prisoners. Centurion Macro and his optio, Cato, find themselves slipping out of camp in the dead of night to reach the General’s family before they are sacrificed to the Druids’ dark gods.
