Beneath the moonlit gaze of the goddess Luna, a grim tableau unfolds in the heart of the Forum—a lifeless wife carried by desperate hands. Gripped by memory loss, the perpetrator seeks help from Secundus and Graccus, peeling back the layers of the enigmatic Cult of Luna in this chilling sixth installment of the series.With time slipping through their fingers and his priestly examinations looming, Secundus wrestles with a mounting burden of duties and the continued presence of his overbearing father and ex-centurion Scavolo in their relentless drive to push him up the ladder of honour. Passing the case to his trusted friend Graccus, they navigate a maze of clues, each turn leading to a vexing dead-end and putting a strain on their relationship. As doubts creep in and frustration mounts, does divine favour wane on Secundus? Failed exams, sleepless nights, and fraying patience paint a dire portrait for his future.
Yet, as the mysteries intertwine, pointing to the secretive temple of Luna, the questions deepen. Is there truly a clandestine cult, or has the husband concealed the truth? Will Secundus unmask the secrets hidden in the moonlit sanctum, or will the darkness claim another victim? In this race against time and treachery, the answers lie within the mysteries of Luna's elusive cult.
