Pliny is the newly appointed governor of a turbulent and corrupt frontier province seething with hatred of Rome. When a high Roman official is found murdered on a desolate hillside, Pliny must investigate the devotees of a barbarian god whose ranks may include a murderer, an unscrupulous faith healer who knows everyone's secrets, and a boy who struggles toward manhood though stricken with the sacred disease. As Pliny pursues one lead after another, he is betrayed where he least expects it: his beautiful wife has fallen in love with a handsome young provincial, and the affair threatens to bring not only pain but ruin to Pliny's career.
