The sixth novel in the bestselling Gaius Petreius Ruso series.
Roman army doctor Ruso is in the borderlands to tend the builders of Hadrian's Great Wall, but it's not long since the failure of a blood-soaked native rebellion, and it's clear to his wife Tilla that the locals are still bitterly resentful.
When Ruso's new clerk goes missing, tensions mount and rumours begin to spread. Is there really a dead body hidden in the Emperor's Great Wall? Or is it all a cunning plot by the natives? Things go from bad to worse when the young son of a local family also vanishes.
As Ruso and Tilla struggle to keep the peace between desperate Britons and frustrated Romans, will they unravel the mystery of the two disappearances before it's too late?
