Three legions march into the Teutoburg Forest of Upper Germania only to be annihilated by a force of fearsome warriors led by Herman of the Cherusci tribe. The Roman world is shaken by the defeat and the prestige of Rome is diminished in the eyes of all the conquered peoples of the empire. The ageing Augustus Caesar is devastated by the loss and needs to find some way of limiting the damage. Sending more legions to the troubled region is not the answer. Plots against Roman authority are suspected everywhere The rule of law is challenged. Political attacks on Augustus, holding him personally responsible for the disaster, will soon emerge. He must find some way of stamping out the rumours running wildfire. Advised by his private secretary and head of intelligence, Menities, he turns yet again to Military Prefect and Knight of Rome, Otto Longius, the Kingkiller. From Britannia through Gaul, and into Germania accompanied by his old friend Legate Lucius Longius, “Boxer” as he is known to all, Otto struggles using guile and deadly force to support his emperor in a time of great peril. “Otto and Boxer are my lucky dice” Augustus had often said. Can it be a winning throw once more?
