A third great adventure for Senator Alix... Rome, summer of the year 12 B.C. On a dark night, about thirty anonymous characters gathered in the woods of the Furies, their faces hidden by bird masks. Driven by the desire for revenge or political passion, all burned down to shoot down the emperor Augustus, called a tyrant, and to replace him with the son of Caesar, Ptolemy Caesar alias Caesarion, whom they thought disappeared. Glaive in the hand, the conjured with the facies of raptors swear the loss of Augustus the usurpator. At the same time, just returned from Egypt, from which he brought back his old companion Enak given for death, Alix Graccus must face a succession of serious deconvenients. Considered as a traitor enemy of Rome, Enak is arrested on order of the emperor, while the wrath of Augustus falls on Alix, soon threatened to be deposed from his gravely ill-fated character, they get to the gravedness of his character, and here to lose all his property. It's a short-sightedness to the character of the character of his own.
