Book III

Quintus' mission in Britain continues - to find Barbillus' son, Rufus. But the news from the province is not good: Cogidubnus, king of one of the British tribes, is seriously ill.

Prepare for a race against time as our hero, Quintus, gets involved in conspiracy, chases and deadly intrigue, as we journey to the legionary fortress of Chester, and first, to the spa-town of Bath.
