Publisher's Synopsis
Army doctor Gaius Petreius Ruso is waiting for the gods to smile on him, but, on a posting to North Britannia, he's in for a long wait. Not least because the locals have a new hero who likes to strap antlers to his head and scare the Romans silly, while Ruso's slave girl, Tilla, is refusing to identify the culprit in a police line-up.
