When peaceful coexistence in the harsh northern lands is disrupted by Roman greed and oppression, the Frisians organize a revolt. But matters get complicated when the king has to deal with threats from within, and he resorts to a harsh form of punishment that had not been used in ages: the triple death.Not everyone who joins the uprising of this Germanic tribe is a traditional warrior. Two friends, a brave girl and a slave boy, are allowed to train and fight against the Romans.Life hasn't been kind to either one of them. She is of complicated heritage and virtually an orphan, struggling to make ends meet, while he has to put up with all kinds of abuse since unexpectedly losing his freedom. They both dream about better times, and after the final battle at Baduhenna's Grove they are able to start a new life.
