This is the story of Ant, a British slave as he trails around Northern Britain in a quest to find a box bequeathed to his mistress by her uncle.The story is set in Roman Britain, just after the murder of Emperor Domitian. Nerva is now on the imperial throne, but his position is far from safe as the Empire is a dangerous breeding ground of plots and conspiracies. Added to this toxic mix is the simmering discontent in the north, where the Roman army face an insurgency that is on the brink of exploding.Into this mix comes Ant and his mistress Junia, completely unaware of the powerful parties who also want to get their hands on the contents of the chest.The story mixes the real history of Rome and Roman Britain with the fictional story of Ant. The betrayals and tribulations he faces as he tries to find the box and comes to terms with who he is and where his own loyalties lie.
