Roman Britain: Late Autumn AD 370 Summoning Canio to his Villa Censorini (Chedworth, Gloucestershire), Caristanius Sabinus, governor of Britannia Prima, informs him that he has been ordered to find a certain ancient figurine of the Underworld goddess Hecate, which he has reason to believe is in Canios possession. Canio denies that he has it, or that he ever had it which is half-true. But Sabinus doesnt believe him, and Canio is vulnerable to blackmail. And so, accompanied by a strange woman called Bodicca and a motherless boy calling himself Maximus, he journeys through a land slowly descending into winter, seeking a replica figurine good enough to deceive Sabinus. It may not end well.
