Synopsis
The children take a carruca into the hills outside Ostia, in pursuit of the man Flavia thinks has murdered her father. Marcus's life hangs in the balance and Jonathan is left behind to nurse him. Only Nubia has faith that the gentle Aristo, their tutor, could not possibly be behind the attack.
