From back cover: It's 313 AD ... The Emperor Constantine and his powerful mother, Helena, are trying to make sense of the new Christian religion and the power it already wields over the teeming populace of Rome and all the great cities throughout the Empire. A great heresy has arisen ... Constantine invites delegates from both sides of the theological dispute to debate before him at the Villa Pulchra outside Rome. Constantine is bored by the religious argument but his interest and his mother's is quickened when representatives from both sides are found murdered in a most macabre way. ... Helena is also very angry that the Holy Sword ... has been stolen from its secure room at the Villa. ... Helena calls upon the help of Claudia, her secret agent, who is also facing a crisis in her own life, as her lover, the gladiator Murranus, clashes with a particularly vicious street gang in Rome ... And so Claudia sets about her investigation against a vivid background where men plot for empire and priests struggle to define a creed which will influence not only their time but centuries to come.
