Description

Rome in the summer of 314 AD is a city of contrasts, where the sun beats down relentlessly and the shadows hide sinister forces. A series of violent abductions rocks the elite, as children are kidnapped and held for ransom. The bodies of veteran soldiers, who fought alongside Constantine on the Great Wall, are found brutally murdered, their corpses subjected to gruesome practices reminiscent of the Picts they once battled. The Empress Helena summons her secret agent, Claudia, to investigate these macabre occurrences. But Claudia has her own mystery to unravel - the exhumation of a young Christian woman's perfectly preserved corpse in her uncle's garden. As she delves into both cases, Claudia must navigate a complex web of politics, religion, and violence, always aware that one misstep could prove fatal. With its intricate plot and atmospheric setting, this gripping historical mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat as Claudia struggles to uncover the truth behind the murders and the mysterious corpse.
