It starts with a monkey being captured and groomed to become the Wild God, a ferocious fighter and symbol of power, so that he might rescue the Consul Ea, who has been banished from the imperial court and spent several years in exile.

But he is not the only one aiming to disrupt the plans of the rich and powerful. The Slaves, too, are rising up against them, determined to risk their lives to regain their freedom.
