The last decades of the 6th century. Byzantium is struggling to withstand the pressure of the Slavs and the nomadic Avars from the north. The Lombards are tormenting Italy. The new emperor, Maurice, is trying to restore order, deceive the barbarians, and defeat the Persians - the Sassanids. During this time, the adopted son of a fugitive Roman senator, Ambrosius, learns, loves, participates in campaigns against the Sklavins, and adventures with his father. Raised among the barbarians, this former slave from Thrace does not yet know what the war against the Avars and the kidnapping of Roman tribute to the khan Bayan will bring for him. Will Ambrosius find himself in Syria, Mesopotamia, or Armenia by circumstances? Will he see the beautiful Antioch, find happiness and friends to replace those lost? What battles will he witness in the ranks of the 14th Syrian Legion and what will daily life be like in the Roman East? How will the people of the empire and their customs appear before him? What will the old books and his own observance reveal? What daring deeds will he commit in the name of passion and understanding of life? Will Thessaloniki withstand the pressure of the Sklavins? Will the Avars prevail over them? Will Maurice, his strategists, and officials succeed in the struggle against the Persians, control the crowd, replenish the treasury, and eradicate heresies?
