What do death by poison, a ruthless senator, and a poetry party have in common? They combine to draw Livia Aemilia into her most dangerous investigation yet. She must risk setting foot in the house of her worst enemy, Senator Tiberius Gracchus, to investigate the death of his wife. (Don't worry, she has a plan.) The victim' sister is convinced Gracchus is the killer. If so, proving his guilt in Rome's law courts could put a stop to his nefarious threats forever. Livia is sure this investigation is God's plan to protect her family from their malicious enemy. And maybe it will finally convince her husband Avitus that God is real. The more Livia and Avitus dig, the more it looks like they will finally bring Gracchus to justice. Until another victim is poisoned, and everything they think they know is turned upside down.
