Description
One afternoon as Gordianus the Finder is crossing the marketplace, a beautiful young seeress staggers towards him and dies in his arms. Possibly insane, and with no memory of her past Cassandra - like her Trojan namesake - had been reputed to possess the true gift of prophecy.

Reviews
How wonderful to have a scholar write about ancient Rome; how comforting to feel instant confidence in the historical accuracy of the novel. * Sunday Times *
Readers will find his work wonderfully (and gracefully) researched....this is entertainment of the first order. * Washington Post *
Saylor has acquired the information of a historian but he enjoys the gifts of a born novelist. * Boston Globe *
