Joining four adventurers on a quest across the Roman province of Mauretania, this novel follows the young detectives Flavia, Jonathan, Nubia, and Lupus from modern-day Libya to Morocco. After the Delphic Oracle prophesies that whoever owns the valuable gemstone known as Nero’s Eye will rule the Roman Empire, the Emperor Titus becomes determined to claim it for himself. As Flavia and her friends pursue the jewel on his behalf, they encounter slave-traders, pantomime actors, a wild animal stampede, and more during their exciting voyage of discovery.
