The province of Germania is in a state of turmoil. Repeatedly, Chauk Pirates disturb peace and hamper trade relations between the Romans and various Germanic tribes. Now, the Frisians are expected to show their neighbours their limits.
But when a member of a Chauk delegation is found slain in Colonia Aggrippinensis – the Roman settlement on the Rhine, which is Cologne today – diplomatic embroilments must be expected and the surprise attack of the Frisians seems to be at risk.
The young Roman Quintilianus is mandated to make the best of the predicament and to find the murderer. But is anyone really interested in the truth? Soon, Quintilianus is at a loss in whom he can still trust.
Knowledgeable and thrilling, the authors take their readers on a journey through time to Roman Germania.
