In 81 AD, Flavia and her friends embark on a perilous mission for Emperor Titus to retrieve 'Nero's Eye', a gemstone prophesied to grant dominion over Rome. Their journey spans the Roman province of Mauretania, from Sabratha to Volubilis, where they face slave-traders, pantomime actors, and a wild animal stampede.
