IN A CITY HELD TOGETHER BY FEAR, ONE MAN FIGHTS FOR THE TRUTH...

Rome, AD 64.

Ruled by the crazy Emperor Nero and devastated by raging fires, the city struggles to rise from the ashes. But now a new threat - darker even than the emperor's crumbling sanity - begins to plague the Roman people. And Quintus Julius Marcellus is the only man who can stop it.

Someone - or something - is killing Rome's elite citizens in a terrifyingly brutal and violent way. It's the hardest case Julius has ever faced - and if he doesn't solve it to the emperor's liking, it could be his last.

The odds are stacked against success as Julius is drawn into a whirl of political intrigue, battling jealous rivals, Nero's paranoia and - as if that weren't enough - struggling against the unbeatable force of falling in love...
