Plot summary
The year is 48 BC, and there is civil war in the Roman Empire. In Rome, the beautiful and mysterious seeress called Cassandra is poisoned, and dies in the arms of Gordianus in the market. While the Finder attempts to uncover her murderer, the armies of Caesar and Pompey are about to clash in Greece.
