The Carnelian Phoenix (Quintus Valerius Mysteries #2)

Former Praetorian Guard, Quintus Valerius, travels from Britannia to visit his family in Rome. A skilled swordsman, Valerius has an unerring nose for danger and death.

Valerius is travelling with his optio, Tiro - a lover of brawling and drinking from Londinium - and the woman he loves, Julia.

In Gaul, Valerius receives a mysterious legacy from his long-dead father — a carnelian intaglio ring. On the road they stumble over a platoon of dead soldiers, also travelling to Rome. One of their high-level political prisoners is dead; the other, Cassius Labineus, has escaped.

But the mystery has only just begun.

Soon after, Julia disappears and Valerius is torn between conflicting loyalties. Family secrets are revealed too, involving a conspiracy and plot to unseat Alexander Severus, the boy Emperor.

When Valerius reaches Rome, the soldier discovers that friends have become enemies. But perhaps an enemy could become a friend?

The fate of Valerius - and the Empire - become linked, as he strives to prevent an assassination.

But there will be blood.
