At the height of the Roman Empire, legionaries try—and fail—to enslave the Celts of Northern Britain. In desperation, the Romans build a wall across the entire island. While her brothers lead the tribes in rebellion against the Empire's tyranny, Neeve spies in the key Roman fort above Antoninus' Wall. She loathes all things Roman, but is somehow drawn to the demanding young fort commander, Vectis. Meanwhile, political machinations in Rome threaten to destroy them both. In the end, Neeve must choose between loyalty to her people and her love for Vectis.
