Mystery Historical
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.
