Pompey his rival, is preparing to flee south with his loyal troops, leaving the city unguarded and ungoverned.

With one son a trusted aide of Caesar and his son-in-law held as hostage by Pompey, Gordianus faces a personal crisis: he must learn the secrets of the dead man and reveal a murderer to protect his own family from being crushed by the opposing forces that will forever change the Roman world.
