In AD 64, Emperor Nero possesses an old prophecy that appears to predict the destruction of Rome by fire. Sebastos Pantera, an assassin and intelligence agent recently returned from Britannia, is ordered to prevent the catastrophe, while the young charioteer Math is drawn into a contest involving the emperor, the circus and a hidden conspirator.
Pantera’s investigation moves through imperial households, religious factions and the dangerous politics surrounding Nero. When fire overwhelms the city, the question changes from whether Rome can be saved to who planned the disaster and who will be blamed for it, placing the city’s emerging Christian communities in immediate danger. The novel has also been published as The Fire of Rome.
