Publisher's summary

In the year 48 BC, Rome is in the midst of civil war. As Pompey and Caesar fight for control of the republic, Rome becomes a hotbed of intrigue driven by espionage, greed, and betrayals.

A beautiful young seeress staggers across the Roman marketplace and dies in the arms of Gordianus the Finder. Possibly mad and claiming no memory of her past, Cassandra - like her Trojan namesake - was reputed to have the gift of prophecy, a gift many in Rome would pay for handsomely...or kill for.

Obsessed with Cassandra's mystery, Gordianus investigates her murder. As he peels away the veils of secrecy surrounding her life and death, he discovers a web of conspiracy linking many of Rome's most ruthless and powerful women. Now Gordianus' pursuit not only endangers his own life but could change the future of Rome.

Another Great Story

I have been slowly getting through this wonderfully written series. Steven Saylor is a true word smith. I’m a fan of the historical period and enjoy how the events of the time are woven into the Finders adventures without any great distortion to the history the most documented period the late Republic.

I also enjoy the reading of Ralph Cosham which is well done without distractions to the story. No poorly done voices just a straight read perfect as written. A good series and recommend them to fans of the Late Republic.

Steven Saylor is a great author!

I love the way he weaves a decency into his story lines. All of his books are entertaining stories that are also educational. I’ve read all of them and constantly watch for more of his publications.

I love this series but this one I couldn't get into. The story fell flat.

Not my favorite

Boring and common. I can’t think of anything more boring and tedious than listening to an old man lusting after a young beautiful woman. just like everybody else. Yada yada yada… Blah blah blah...who the hell cares?!
