We have set the assassination date for the Ides of July ... \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat better opportunity for a beautiful young widow than to join a prestigious trade delegation bound for Gaul? There was the fanfare as the procession left Rome, the breathtaking journey through lush Alpine meadows. And let's not forget the promise of riches for delivering a certain pouch, sealed with the sign of the black salamander. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcept things are never that simple when Claudia Seferius is involved. There's a rockfall, for a start, which leaves the party stranded, as well as five men dead--and one death is not accidental. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll Claudia wants to do now is to get out of the valley they are trapped in and hand over the pouch. But there are those who will go to any lengths to stop her. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd suddenly Claudia finds herself plunged into a deadly game of high treason, in a land where warriors still hunt human heads and where wicker-man sacrifices are far from rare... \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDREAM BOAT \u003cbr\u003eClaudia Seferius is broke. Skint. Borassic. Cleaned out. Bust, and on her uppers. So when her teenage stepdaughter Flavia is abducted, Claudia can't just throw money at the problem. The cash simply isn't there--since her husband died, his fellow businessmen have banded together to freeze her out of trade. And the frustratingly delectable Orbilio can't help--he's been placed under strict house arrest after a skeleton was found walled up in the house that's been in his family for three generations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, with the Games of Apollo--a series of festivals and frolics, feasting and tomfoolery--due to start in two days, Claudia has saddled herself with the job of playing tag with the kidnapper. Meanwhile, a mysterious Egyptian cult, the Brothers of Horus, is growing in popularity with Roman citizens. But several of its young female members are beginning to experience strange disturbances.... \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDARK HORSE \u003cbr\u003eThe demon stirred. Its sleep had been long, but in its sleep it grew restless. It had smelled the blood of its past in its dreams. Now it wanted to taste it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Claudia is caught doping racehorses, an island in the Adriatic seems the perfect refuge. Shaded by figs and pomegranates, Leo's villa is surrounded by plunging cliffs, sandy coves and hillsides scented by carpets of wild herbs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen a pirate ship anchors in the bay, and almost immediately a fire breaks out, an apprentice is murdered, and sinister messages are delivered on the point of a spear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToo late, Claudia discovers that three hundred miles isn't far enough from Rome to escape the law. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOr a bloodlust that goes way beyond evil.","brand":"Untreed Reads","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076693672176,"sku":"2940157695613","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157695613_p0.jpg?v=1764100871","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157695613","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
