In AD 43 desertions, unexplained deaths and failing supplies threaten Roman authority in Egypt. Pirate attacks across the Mediterranean appear to be coordinated with unrest along the Nile, suggesting that the crisis reaches beyond a single rebellious province.
The Occultum enters a landscape where Roman administration exists beside older religious traditions and local rivalries. Their investigation draws them into a conspiracy that exploits fear, divided loyalties and the dependence of the empire on Egyptian grain.
