Description:A new calamity is brewing in the Roman provincial town of Vindobona. In the midst of a devastating snowstorm, the followers of two outlawed cults—Druids and Christians—gather in the house of the Germanic merchant Thanar. They hope for hospitality and a safe roof over their heads. But it is death that awaits them. Have the gods themselves conspired against the inhabitants of Vindobona? Or is there a demon in human form hiding among Thanar’s guests, an insidious murderer who seems to kill indiscriminately?
