"The war we don't yet call the Gallic War is about to begin! Vienne, 58 BC. J. -C. In the capital of the Gaulish Allobroges, the home of Mr Vorenus, a wealthy Roman merchant, is in turmoil. During the night, two murders have been committed and the rich young daughter of the Aeduan chief Diviciacos has been kidnapped. Disgraced, Vorenus sends his son Lucius on the trail of the kidnappers, after making the young man swear an oath that will have far-reaching consequences for his future.
Meanwhile, on the shores of Lake Geneva, the Helvetians were completing preparations for their great migration. More than 300,000 people were preparing to flood into the Roman province. It was March 15 and the governor of the province, Julius Caesar, was still in Rome. "
