Summary: Arthur Castus, the commander of fortress Camboglanna in the north of Roman Britain, is ambushed while on a routine patrol and taken hostage by the local Pict warriors that populate the close north of Hadrian's Wall. Arthur's knights and his second in command, Lancelot ap Ban, attempt to retrieve him without trouble.

Trouble tends to follow Arthur and his knights, however, as Lancelot, while possessing the best intentions and slightly hidden love for Arthur, seeks to save the commander while still recovering from a violent flu that has killed several of the fortress's denizens a few weeks previous. Lancelot and the other knights recover Arthur, but things go awry and Lancelot is accused of trying to kill his commander by the Roman legions that still occupy fortress Camboglanna.

Can Arthur save his second despite the disdain and hatred the Roman army has for the conscripts Arthur leads? Can he save Lancelot despite the other man's propensity for anger and rash decision making? To what lengths will Arthur go to save the man that knows him best of all?
