Synopsis

In 88 B.C., it seems as if the entire ancient world is at war. In the west, the Italian states are rebelling against Rome; in the east, Mithridates is marching through and conquering the Roman Asian provinces. Even in the relatively calm Alexandria, a coup has brought a new Pharaoh to power and chaos to the streets. The young Gordianus has been waiting out the chaos in Alexandria, with Bethesda, when he gets a cryptic message from his former tutor and friend, Antipater. Now in Ephesus, as part of Mithridates' entourage, Antipater seems to think that his life is in imminent danger. To rescue him, Gordianus concocts a daring, even foolhardy, scheme to go "behind enemy lines" and bring Antipater to safety. But there are powerful, and deadly forces, at work here, which have their own plans for Gordianus. Not entirely sure whether he's a player or a pawn, Gordianus must unravel the mystery behind the message if he's to save himself and the people he holds most dear.

Goodreads review by Magdalena aka A Bookaholic Swede on April 09, 2016

My biggest concern reading this book was that it would be hard to get into the story since this is the third book in a series, but I needed not worry. Yes, there are events mentioned in this book that has happened in the previous books, but that didn't bother me at all. Instead, it made me quite eag......more

Goodreads review by Mercedes on May 29, 2018

This recent episode of the Gordianus series takes us back to his youth, when Bethesda was nothing more than his beautiful, sexy slave—with irresistible charm—and when his father was known as The Finder, not himself. So we have a slightly insecure, fairly inexperienced sleuth-in-training caught up in......more

Este é um dos livros que relata as aventuras de Gordiano antes de se tornar o famoso detetive em Roma. Nesta obra, ele é um jovem que vive em Alexandria e é conhecido por ter visitado as 7 maravilhas do mundo antigo. Bestusa é sua escrava, serve-se dela como cuncubina mas ainda não compreendeu o gra......more
