        <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Back at his post as a doctor in the Twentieth legion in Roman-occupied Britain, Ruso uncovers a new danger even closer to home than the neighboring barbarians. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;*As mysterious injuries, and even deaths, begin to appear in the medical ledgers, it's clear that all is not well amongst the native recruits to Britannia's imperial army. Is the much- decorated Centurion Geminus preying on his weaker soldiers? And could this be related to the appearance of Emperor Hadrian? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bound by his sense of duty and ill-advised curiosity, Ruso begins to ask questions nobody wants to hear. Meanwhile his barbarian wife, Tilla, is finding out some of the answers-and marked as a security risk by the very officers Ruso is interrogating. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;*With Hadrian's visit looming large, the fates of the legion, Tilla, and Ruso himself hang in the balance.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;About the Author&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ruth Downie&lt;/strong&gt; is the author of the &lt;em&gt;New York Times&lt;/em&gt; bestselling &lt;em&gt;Medicus&lt;/em&gt;, as well as &lt;em&gt;Terra Incognita&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Persona Non Grata&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Caveat Emptor&lt;/em&gt;.
