Rome sent them to find a killer. What they found was never meant to be discovered.
AD 46. In the foothills of the Taygetus, five Roman travelers lie dead in a ravine. Their gold is untouched, their weapons are still sheathed, and each body bears the same cut across the right palm. The only tracks leading away are barefoot. Some are small enough to belong to children.
When one of the dead proves to be a senator's nephew, Rome demands blood, and Seneca and the Occultum are sent south to find the truth before an army is sent instead.
But the mountains above Sparta guard a secret older than Rome itself, and the answers waiting in the high valleys will test every loyalty Seneca has ever sworn.
