Britain, A.D. 343. The end of Roman rule. The little protection that Rome has from the Dalriad and Caledone tribes comes from a small post of half-wild legionnaires: the Frontier Wolves. A young commander, Alexios, is sent to preside over this undisciplined lot. Yet he knows his assignment was not a promotion. The young commander will have to own up to his past and learn the customs of this tribe-like legion in order to win the respect of the Frontier Wolves.
