With that in mind, he has volunteered for a posting with the army in the far reaches of Britannia-a calmer place for a tired man.īut the edge of the Roman Empire is a volatile place the independent tribes of the North dwell near its borders. After his long and reluctant investigation of the murders of a handful of local prostitutes, Gaius Petreius Ruso needs to get out of town. It is spring in the year 118, and Hadrian has been emperor of Rome for less than a year. In this highly anticipated sequel to Ruth Downie's New York Times bestselling debut, beloved army doctor Gaius Petrius Ruso strikes out for the uncivilized borders of Roman Britain, where he runs into murder and the ghosts of his vexingly beautiful slave Tilla's past.
