However, as information about the last days of his father's life becomes known, Marcus realises that his father's death was no accident - and that his own life is in danger.
Meanwhile, an escaped slave girl called Una, who possesses the power to see inside others' minds, struggles to save her brother, Sulien, from a London prison ship.
In a fortune teller's stall in a Gallic flea-market, Marcus, Una and Sulien's paths cross. Now the fate of the Empire rests on their shoulders...
