Imperial agent Gaius Flaminius Drusus regretfully bids farewell to the epicene delights of Baiae when he is recalled to Rome. The procurator of Britain has been murdered, and the Chief wants Flaminius and Centurion Junius Italicus to accompany the new procurator, Corvus, to the province to investigate. Evidence hints that the Caledonian druids are the instigators of the killing. When Flaminius travels to Britain, he learns that despite the emperor's new fortifications in the North, all is not well. Hadrian's legacy is a well defended province that is nevertheless rotten at the core. Secret cults and enigmatic assassins are everywhere, and Flaminius is forced to take drastic action when he is betrayed by one of his closest colleagues. Will he solve the procurator's murder and expose a conspiracy that threatens to plunge Britain into barbarism? Or will even he join the forces of chaos?
