A bridge collapses. A slave holds the truth. A jurist must choose between the law he loves and the woman he cannot own.
Rome, 121 AD. Under the glittering reign of Emperor Hadrian, the City of Marble is governed by the iron hand of the Law. But when a vital bridge over the Anio river collapses, killing innocent citizens, the structural failure reveals a much deeper rot.

Frigidianus, a brilliant Sabinian jurisconsult, is tasked with finding the truth. Was it a builder's negligence, or a merchant's deadly fraud? As he navigates the treacherous waters of Roman courtrooms and senatorial backstabs, he faces his most dangerous challenge yet: Gela.

She is brilliant, beautiful, and-under Roman law-she is an object. As Frigidianus fights to win her freedom (manumissio), he realizes that the law he has served his whole life is a double-edged sword that threatens to destroy them both.
