Mystery in History
After Rome, before the Middle Ages, Italy belonged to the Ostrogoths.
A corrupt governor. A young girl. An old man. Argolicus unravels the threads.
When a life-long friend disappears, a peaceful retreat to the provinces turns into a challenge to the local governor for Argolicus.
A cruel slander originates from the venal governor. When Argolicus visits the governor, he discovers an unscrupulous plot destined to impoverish his friend. When his lifelong tutor overhears a comment, they set out to find their friend only to discover base cruelty and a secret plot.
A plot that challenges the King's people, the roots of Roman civility, and his friend's life.
Affronted, he pursues the thread. Little does he know that his investigation will pitch him in a fight with thugs and ultimately set him head-to-head with the governor.
