'Marcus Fulder is the best man at finding runaway slaves in the Rome of the early days of the reign of Emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. It is because he has a talent for remembering faces. He is called in by a merchant named Gaius Maximus Secundus to find a runaway female slave from India named Vishesti. He wants her back because she has developed an aquatic creature called a navitar that could be grown big enough to tow ships. Her talent seems more than human. Her children, who have been corrupted by Rome and speak Latin while putting emphasis on the wrong syllable, say she is an ifrit, a demon. Is her power magical or something else? Vishesti curses Rome for what has been done to her children. Does she succeed?'
