About Poetic Justice:
9 CE.
Rome’s celebrated love poet Ovid finds himself in exile, courtesy of an irate Emperor, in the far-flung town of Tomis. Appalled at being banished to a barbarous region at the very edge of the Empire, Ovid soon discovers that he has a far more urgent – and potentially perilous – issue to address. A killer is at large in Tomis, and the Governor’s Security Advisor Marcus Avitius is under pressure. When the killer progresses from animal to human victims, Avitius reluctantly allies himself to the mercurial, tipsy Ovid.
After it becomes clear that his poetry is somehow linked to the killings, Ovid realises he is in mortal danger, a target for dark forces at work in Tomis – and in Rome.
