Overview: AD 86.
The Roman Empire is under the rule of Domitian.
Solanus is a ruthless assassin who serves his paymaster Quintus Fuscus. A battle-hardened Roman soldier, he is drafted into the Dacian wars. But he flees the Battle of Tapae after realizing he was walking into a trap. He is guided back to Rome by a young Thracian, Kotys, who is desperate to find her enslaved sister Bendis. Along the dark backstreets of the ancient city, Solanus’ mysterious past catches up with him. He is brutally attacked and Kotys captured. Who attacked him? And what do they want? Solanus is tangled in a web of mistrust and duplicity – a pawn in the struggle for control of Rome between multiple factions of Senators, including his adoptive father, the Praetorian Guard and the shifty gladiator trainer Petronius and his beautiful daughter Corelia. His search takes him from fierce gladiatorial contests in the Coliseum to the Emperor’s palace, via the grimy, dangerous heart of ancient Rome. Can he unmask his mysterious enemies and find Kotys? Or will he be ensnared by the charms of the beautiful gladiatrix, Corelia…?
