Rome, AD 188. Rufinus is believed dead after the events in Dacia, giving him a rare chance to act beyond the expectations of enemies and friends. In the capital, Cleander’s control over access to Commodus has deepened, and offices, favours and punishments increasingly serve the chamberlain’s private network.
Returning in secrecy, Rufinus finds a city divided between fear, hunger and resentment. Septimius Severus and other future contenders remain at the edge of events while the palace closes around the emperor. To strike at Cleander, Rufinus must use the very deception and manipulation he despises, knowing that failure will expose everyone who helped conceal his survival.
