If Elen is married to a powerful Roman, she can guide policy to better safeguard their vulnerable lands against the encroaching barbarian threat.
With ambitions beyond his station, Magnus concocts a scheme to ascend to the imperial throne, but Elen���s brother, incensed that she has stolen his inheritance, raises a barbarian army from the untamed wilderness north of the Wall to reclaim what he thinks is his.
