Caesar is dead, and Mark Antony demands vengeance against the senators who struck him down. He again uses Artemidorus and the contubernium of spies to identify the conspirators, determine who directed the attack and bring back proof—or heads—from across Roman territory. The mission is complicated by claims that one assassin may have been Caesar’s own son and by the uncertainty surrounding the dictator’s succession.
Antony’s pursuit of the Liberators unfolds while Cicero attempts to control the Senate and Octavian emerges as Caesar’s legal heir. Artemidorus travels through an empire already moving towards civil war, where each arrest can serve one faction while strengthening another. The sequel turns the immediate aftermath of the assassination into a campaign of intelligence, revenge and shifting allegiance.
