272 AD The Roman Emperor Aurelian has defeated Queen Zenobia and
crushed the Palmyran revolt. Faridun's Banner, hallowed battle
standard of the Persian Empire, has fallen into Roman hands and is
to be returned to the Persians as part of a historic peace treaty.
But on the eve of the signing the banner goes missing. Recalled to
Syria, imperial agent Cassius Corbulo is charged with recovering
the flag. Accompanied by his faithful servant Simo and ex-gladiator
bodyguard Indavara, Cassius must journey across the dangerous
wastes of Syria to the equally perilous streets of Antioch. He and
his companions face ruthless brigands, mysterious cults, merciless
assassins and intrigue at every turn.
