In the bustling heart of Ancient Rome, Gordianus the Finder is known for his keen ability to uncover secrets, but trouble seems to follow him like a shadow. As he navigates the intriguing folds of Roman society, he finds himself enveloped in a web of political intrigue and moral dilemmas. The allure of the Vestal Virgins, tasked with preserving the sacred fire and the city's purity, draws Gordianus deeper into a mystery that could change the course of history.
Set against the backdrop of an empire teetering on the brink, he encounters a cast of complex characters, each with their own motives and hidden truths. With tensions rising and stakes escalating, Gordianus must rely on his wit and intuition to solve a case that could threaten the very foundations of Rome. As the layers of deception peel away, he learns that the quest for truth can come at a steep price.
