Bellicus, Duro, and Cai have travelled south to join the warlord Arthur and his growing army of Britons. New friendships have been made, and exciting adventures await the warrior-druid and his companions, but the threat of Hengist and his invaders casts a dark cloud over all.

In 2019, the AIs went to war. Three days later, hundreds of nuclear missiles were launched. The electromagnetic pulse destroyed the machines, but the radiation and famine nearly destroyed humanity. By 2039, civilization had regressed to the age of steam, but newer technologies were on the horizon. The future looked bright until the warlords swept through Europe. Villages and towns were laid waste, the few thousand people who'd hacked out a life in the continental wasteland were butchered. It was only when the barbarians reached the British garrison in Calais that they were stopped.
