Invitation to Die

During a banquet hosted by Emperor Domitian to honor fallen soldiers, Aelianus and Justinus Camillus attend a tense gathering in a morbidly decorated room, which prompts them to suspect that the emperor has turned against them due to political tensions involving their family. As the evening unfolds, the brothers begin to question their safety and their chances of returning home. With praise for Lindsey Davis's vivid portrayal of ancient Rome and her engaging crime fiction, this story promises a gripping exploration of political intrigue and danger in a richly depicted historical setting.
