Rome, AD 190. Cleander has fallen, but his clients, debts and hidden arrangements remain embedded in the Guard and the city’s administration. Rufinus is ordered to uncover what survives of the chamberlain’s organisation while Commodus searches for new favourites and new explanations for Rome’s unrest.
The inquiry leads through factional violence and memories of the recent grain crisis. Old enemies attempt to destroy evidence and redirect blame, turning political cleansing into another opportunity for revenge. Rufinus must decide whether removing corruption is possible when the emperor who enabled it remains beyond challenge.
