Description
When Marcus Corvinus agrees to clear the ashes of the exiled Roman poet Ovid for burial, he expects a straightforward task. However, his application to the imperial authorities is met with refusal, leaving him wondering what Ovid did that was so objectionable.
The first book in the series, this novel sets the stage for a complex and intriguing mystery that explores the darker side of ancient Rome's history.
