AD 72. Titus Flavius Vespasianus, known as Vespasian, is Emperor of Rome. However, his grip on power is weakening as economic disaster threatens the city and so the Empire itself. The imperial treasure chests are all but empty, legions go unpaid, while yields from the vital goldmines in Spain have fallen dramatically.
Gaius Valerius Verrens, recently married and building a new home, had hoped he’d left his old life behind when he received the summons from the Emperor. Vespasian wants his old friend to do him one last favour: to journey to the remote, mountainous region of Asturica Augusta and investigate claims that a bandit called ‘The Ghost’ is raiding the Empire’s gold convoys with impunity.
What Valerius finds in this tortured, gods-forsaken land is much more complicated. The native tribes, exploited for so long, are a growing threat, but it seems the real danger comes from those closer to him. Treachery waits in the shadows as he is drawn into a terrifying conspiracy that, were it to succeed, would plunge the Empire into a devastating new conflict.
It falls to Valerius to put an end to it – but first he must establish who is a friend and who a foe . . .
