Rome, AD 185. Two years after helping to defeat Lucilla’s conspiracy, Rufinus remains haunted by the cost and vulnerable to enemies who know how he entered the Guard. Praetorian prefect Tigidius Perennis appears to offer order, but accusations of treason spread through an imperial court where information is a weapon.
A new threat forces Rufinus to investigate men above his rank while protecting those who may be used against him. Commodus grows more isolated and suspicious as rival officials compete for access. The price of exposing betrayal is the possibility that the Guard itself has become part of the conspiracy.
