Over a thousand Roman soldiers wiped out in a single month. Not one enemy body left behind.
45 AD. The Amber Road has fallen silent. Trade caravans no longer return from the northern forests. And the men sent to investigate have vanished — found days later, kneeling in rows, their faces marked with symbols no Roman has ever seen.
The sole survivor speaks of shadows. Of darkness that moved. Of an enemy that killed without sound and disappeared without trace.
Emperor Claudius wants blood, the Senate demands war, but Senator Lepidus knows that sending more legions will only feed the slaughter. He needs answers first.
He sends the Occultum.
Six men. No insignia. No official orders. Trained to go where legions cannot and do what soldiers dare not. Their mission: cross the Danube, enter the forbidden forests, and find the truth — before Rome burns half of Germania to the ground in blind vengeance.
What they discover is not demons or spirits, but something far more dangerous: a people with a grievance and a crime committed by Romans that demands blood payment. A people who answer to no law — Roman or tribal.
