The story is set during 50-47 B.C. and centers around the complexities of Roman society during a tumultuous period, particularly focusing on the life of Quintus Livius Drusus. The narrative explores themes of love, duty, and the evolving political landscape as characters navigate their relationships against the backdrop of the decline of the Roman Republic."  "The opening of the novel introduces us to a hot September day near Præneste, where Quintus Livius Drusus, freshly returned from his studies in Athens, is expected by his slaves. As the narrative unfolds, we learn about Drusus's character and his connections, particularly with Cornelia, the daughter of his father's friend. The scene shifts from the anticipation of Drusus's arrival, characterized by the daily struggles and interactions of the slaves, to a deeper exploration of Drusus himself, who contemplates his familial obligations and the societal expectations surrounding his imminent marriage. This initial glimpse sets the stage for a rich exploration of the social dynamics and personal dilemmas prevailing in ancient Rome."
