Ioanneis tells the life story of Ioannes Petrius Burrus, who comes into the world in the late 4th century A.D. just as the Western Roman Empire is spiraling down into collapse. Believing himself to be blessed by divine providence, the young Burrus joins the Roman army, seeing it as his destiny to defend and save his fracturing Fatherland. While Romans fight Romans in destructive civil wars and Germanic invaders hammer the frontier defenses, the soldier Burrus must also defend his own personal honor against those who question his aristocratic lineage and his religion. In a political atmosphere that permits open persecution of those who do not subscribe to the same religious beliefs as those in power, Burrus must do his best to hide the truth about himself as he grows ever more powerful in the Roman military hierarchy.
