As Imperial Rome forges its empire upon the ashes of war, its provinces feverish with religion, ambition and a thirst for power compete in the shadows without conscience. Save for one. An adopted Jew of a long dead son of Rome who is playing a dangerous game. Driven by a vision he is certain is the future if he does not act, he is forced to make an unlikely alliance. An alliance that is fated to bring unwelcome attention. Not all those seeking prominence in Rome are men.
At great personal cost, a provincial governor and his unwitting sons will be caught in the middle. Cassius will choose for vengeance, the ripples of his actions destined to echo across time. His brother Justus will seek the safety of obscurity. Their only allies are Caeso, a haruspex and long-time friend of their father, and Hector, a forgotten hero of the Tenth Legion. And the only clues in their search for the truth, and possibly their only hope for salvation? The discovery of a secret that could start a war!
