Videssos was not like Marcus Scarus' native Rome. But he found politics and intrigue the same-deadly!

But Marcus, betrayed by the one closest to him, was returning to be seized, dragged before the Emperor, and questioned under truth-drug like a traitor. Of the court, only Alypia Gavra stuck by him-but consorting with the Emperor's niece was dangerous. It could lead to exile-or death! Yet Alypia was attractive. And Marcus was lonely . . .
