Set against the backdrop of Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul, the narrative follows Meromic, a Gallic hero whose life is shattered by war. Once the heir to the Veneti tribe, he endures a harrowing transformation into a slave, a revenge killer, and a fugitive, ultimately grappling with despair after losing his hand. This poignant exploration of the personal toll of historical conflict offers a stark contrast to traditional accounts of conquest, focusing on the profound and traumatic effects of war on individual lives.
