Maximus, Aghiles, and Titus investigate the mystery of Titus' missing cousin, Octavia.
Rome looked like a ghost town. and yet, two shadows moved at a rapid pace along the Via Nova, which ran beside the house of the vestals. Suddenly, a howling gust of wind swept the wide avenue. It blew the heavy cape covering the head of a young woman, revealing the immaculate whiteness of her vestal veil. The other shadowy figure immediately covered the maiden with a fold of his dark cloak and pulled her close, hiding her from view as they hurried past the house. After a long moment, the figure cautiously withdrew his cloak and re-covered the young woman's head with her own cape. He grabbed her arm and dragged her into the night. Titus' cousin Octavia, a maiden who guards the sacred fire in the Temple of Vesta, is missing! Has she been kidnapped? Has she run away? Titus and his friends Maximus and Aghiles set out to solve the mystery, they encounter puzzling evidence and lurking danger along the way while learning important lessons about freedom, duty, and devotion.
