The Romans have been unable to fully conquer Britain, meeting the fiercest resistance in the North, reaching a harsh
stalemate that's lasted a gruelling twenty years. The Picts of Alba are engaging in a guerrilla campaign against the
Roman forts along the Glenblocker line and the Gask Ridge at the southern border of the Scottish Highlands. At the
Roman outpost of Pinnata Castra, Pictish warriors led by Vortix and Aeron force surprise and kill the entire garrison,
taking only one survivor for questioning, the second-in-command, Centurion Quintus Dias, because he can speak the
Pictish tongue. Dias is brought before the Pictish king Gorlacon, who has united the northern tribes. Dias is brutally
interrogated, but two weeks later escapes on foot. However, a messenger dispatched by the fort's commander has reached
Gnaeus Julius Agricola, the Roman governor of Britannia, who wants to obtain favour with the Roman Senate, hoping to
secure a transfer back to the comforts of Rome. He dispatches the Ninth Legion, under General Titus Flavius Virilus,
to eradicate the Pictish threat and provides him with a female Celtic Brigantian scout called Etain. As the legion
marches north it encounters Dias and rescues him from his pursuers, saving his neck just in the nick of time.
Etain betrays the legion to King Gorlacon by leading them into an ambush where, surprised by a rolling legion of
massive flaming pitch-wood 'boulders', they are easily annihilated. The wounded general is captured. Dias is one
of the few survivors, along with the legionaries Bothos, Thax, Brick, Macros and Leonidas (a Greek), and Tarak
(a mere cook). They set out to rescue general Virilus and, after a few days' travel, they find him at Gorlacon's
village and sneak in at nightfall. However, they are unable to break his chains and he orders them to leave him
and get back to Roman territory. During the attack, Thax, taking shelter in Gorlacon's hut, suffocates the king's
young son, who had spotted them, to prevent him crying out. The next morning, Gorlacon burns his son's body on a
funeral pyre and forces General Virilus to fight Etain in single combat. Etain, who as a child witnessed her parents
brutally raped and slaughtered by the Romans; and now on a vendetta, kills him with a spear through the heart.
Gorlacon then sends her after the fleeing legionaries at the head of a small group of mounted warriors, including
Vortix and Aeron, to seek revenge for his son's death.
The seven Romans plan to travel north (away from Roman territory) to throw the Picts off their trail, then head west,
and then back south. After several days' pursuit, the Picts being excellent trackers, continually catch up with the
fugitives, who jump off a cliff into a river to escape them, (although Tarak, who had broken his foot, is killed
before he can jump). Macros and Thax become separated from the others. Dias and his group camp for the night, while
their trackers set up camp across the river. Dias and Brick launch a night raid on the enemy camp, killing two men
and severely wounding a third, from whom they discover that they are being pursued because of the death of Gorlacon's
son, which scoundrel Thax had kept secret. However, Etain has launched her own attack on the Romans' campsite. Dias
and Brick return to their camp to discover Leonidas dead and Bothos severely wounded. Macros and Thax are now running
from a wolf pack. Thax pretends to fall, with the wolves in close pursuit, and cries out to his comrade for help. Macros
returns to help him and a traitorous Thax hamstrings him to prevent him from standing, allowing Thax to escape while
the wolves attack and devour Macros. Dias, Bothos and Brick find a hut in the forest belonging to Arianne, a Pictish
exile accused of witchcraft who has learned Latin from the soldiers at a nearby Roman frontier outpost. She shelters
them, providing food, and medical attention for Bothos. When Etain and her warriors arrive the following day, Arianne
confronts her while the Romans hide in her grain store under the floorboards. The next morning they leave Arianne,
who provides them with enough food to travel to the outpost. Arianne, having become fond of Dias, is saddened to see
him go; left again to her solitude.
They find the outpost abandoned, with an order pinned to a post saying that the Roman troops have retreated south,
by the orders of the Emperor Hadrian. Seeing Etain and her warriors approaching and fed up with running, they set
up a defensive position inside the fort. Brick is killed, but the three Romans kill Vortix, Aeron, and the rest of
the Picts, with Dias ending the fight by killing Etain. Taking the Picts' horses, Dias and Bothos continue southwards
and en route are reunited with Thax. Upon reaching Hadrian's Wall, which is now under construction, Thax, afraid that
he will report his dishonourable actions, threatens Dias and they fight, with Dias overpowering and choking Thax to death.
Bothos, joyfully riding towards the Romans, is mistaken for a charging Pict and is shot by an archer. Dias is
outraged and crestfallen at the worthlessness of it all. He reports to Agricola, who is concerned that news of the
legion's annihilation might cause other tribes to rise up against them. He is also fearful of his record and status
being tainted by a military failure, and decides that the Ninth Legion's fate should remain a mystery and that Dias
must be silenced/killed. Dias, however, manages to foil the attempt on his life by Agricola's daughter Druzilla,
although he is badly wounded in the thigh during the fracas. Disgusted at their treatment of their own 'heroes'
and disillusioned by their 'true colours', he knocks Druzilla unconscious with a punch then escapes from the camp
and returns to where he realises "he belongs", back to Arianne in the forest. As the weakened Dias lies in her arms
by the stream, his life in her hands once again, he and Arianne kiss.
