With half the Harpies taken hostage and on their way to Rome as war prizes, Xena and Gabrielle set off on a desperate rescue mission. The Harpies are ready for battle, and even Ares has joined the fray, but with Rome hungry for victory at any cost, they might already be too late. It's battle on two fronts… and when Gabrielle faces a terrible choice, will she risk losing Xena to save the world?

Gabrielle is a "guest" of Rome. She'll have the power of an empire at her fingertips, if she becomes a loyal subject of Augustus Caesar - a Bard that will shape history. But Xena will stop at nothing to get Gabrielle back - no matter the cost. When the streets of Rome become a battlefield, a legacy hangs in the balance.
