    About this ebook

    Rome, AD 34: Marcus Salvius Magnus, leader of the Crossroads Brotherhood, is searching for the resin of an eastern flower that can unlock the realm of Morpheus. His patron, Senator Pollo, needs it for the city's most powerful woman, the Lady Antonia, in order to recoup a considerable debt.

    Meanwhile, rebellion is in the air and as the Ides of October festival dawns to celebrate the completion of agricultural and military campaigns, a violent riot erupts. Can Magnus help right the wrongs that have been perpetrated upon the stirred-up crowd?

      A short prequel to the Vespasian series of Fabbri. Well written, and entertaining. We learn that Magnus, who will quickly become the young Vespasian's right hand man, is a quick witted and connected individual (though that was always apparent). Magnus is the boss of a 'brethren', who govern an area of working class Rome, and charge for this service. In this story we see several tricky situations resolved to everyone's (at least that of the good people) advantage. Fabbri is not hesitant to show lots of dead bodies and the chopping off of limbs.
