embark on a journey to the East to gather important information, in other words, to spy. Herodotus regularly receives such assignments and is happy to take on the new one, as the trip will provide material for his "History" and allow him to visit the famous cities of Assyria and Babylon.

This novel is the concluding part of the trilogy about the life of the famous Greek historian. The first two books—"The Choice of Herodotus" and "Ostracon and Papyrus"—were previously published in this series.
