Before Julius Zebra can have his freedom, Emperor Hadrian sends him on one last mission. As the newly-named People’s Champion, Julius and his friends must travel to a distant land to remind its people of the might of the Roman Empire: Britannia. It’ll be just like a vacation! But when the motley menagerie of gladiators arrive in the cold, wet new land, they don’t quite receive the welcome they were expecting. In fact, the Britons seem to hate the Romans. But the longer Julius and his friends stay in Britannia, the more they realize that they have a lot more in common with the Britons than they thought. After all, they’re all under Hadrian’s rule. But what can a ragtag group of fighting animals do about it?
