I had to force myself through this one. It wasn't bad, but I lost track of the characters from the beginning and it wasn't written in a compelling style. The story had potential, which it didn't really fulfil."
"I learned a whole bunch about life in the Roman Empire under Nero. When a murder takes place, young Hylas is forced to flee from his home where he was a slave. When his family and friends are taken captive, accused of the murder, he and his friends embark on a dangerous mission to find the real murderer and set his family free."
