Description
Death in Londinium A Thrilling Historical Mystery Set in Roman Britain In 1st century AD Londinium, a wealthy Britannic Celt named Fabius Gentilius Scorteus is desperate to become a Roman citizen. He turns to his Greek slave Ikaros, a man with a mysterious past and alleged magical powers, to help him design a solution to the city's water crisis. In return, Scorteus promises to set Ikaros free. However, when a member of Scorteus' household is found murdered, the situation takes a deadly turn. Under Roman law, the death of a master means the death of all slaves in the household, and Ikaros is convinced that no one in his household is to blame. With the support of a Roman soldier, Morganus, Ikaros sets out to solve the mystery and uncover the truth before innocent lives are lost. Can Ikaros unmask the killer before it's too late? Death in Londinium is a gripping historical mystery set in Roman Britain, where the stakes are high and the truth is hidden behind a web of secrets and lies.
