Description
PROVINCE OF BRITANNIA – AD 208
Wanting the quiet life in a wicked world, the advocate Justinus practices the law of Wills & Estates from the walled safety of Eboracvm (York), his clients mostly dead. But once work and funds run out, bad debts and beneficiaries come after him, then it’s his senior clerk Tiro who finds a solution. In the shape of the lady Lydia Firma, who seems like the answer to his problems when she’s only the start of his next. And an even better reason for getting out of town.
Nine arduous days on the road with Lydia and her entourage that bring them, not without cost, before the Walls of Lugh. To the frontier city of Lugvalio and Britannia’s Wild West, where Justinus must confront Lydia’s father, Marcus C.Firmus, in a court case more testing and terrifying than any known before. For Justinus or Lydia, Firmus or Tiro, this bitter courtroom battle will prove the trial of their lives.
