The tumultuous year of the Four Emperors is coming to an end. Rome is reeling from brutal civil war and mutiny. Praetor Agricola is summoned to the palace only to encounter his long-lost love, who he believed to be dead, fleeing through the dense fog and into the Suburra. Despite giving chase, she manages to elude him, compelling him to dispatch his second-in-command to track her down.

Meanwhile, the arrival of Gul in Rome brings distressing news, prompting Clíodhna to reluctantly agree to return to her home in Caer Leb. However, before they can depart, they are apprehended by the Praetorian Guard on charges of sedition and face the terrifying prospect of being fed to the lions in the arena.

Amidst this chaos, Mucianus, acting as Governor of Rome in Vespasian's absence, appoints Agricola as Legate of the Legio XX Valeria Victrix, sending him to Britannia to assume command. Determined to rescue Clíodhna from captivity, Agricola resorts to deception, risking the ire of the Governor and creating powerful adversaries as he embarks on a Herculean task to secure her freedom.

Their departure from Rome sparks a perilous pursuit by relentless adversaries who will stop at nothing to ensure that Agricola and Clíodhna pay the ultimate price. As they flee for their lives, the suspense and danger escalate to a thrilling crescendo.

A satisfyingly gritty and complex tale of a noble Roman commander and a valiant Christian woman. -- Kirkus Review
