    "description": "<p>In 1992 Daisy Hayes had inherited Bottomleigh House and was  struggling to keep it afloat financially. Then she got a letter from an  archaeologist asking her to help make sense of a mysterious message that  had just been dug up in Rome. Time to hook up again with Morag, her  deaf friend from the \u2018project\u2019 in 1964, and to go back to the Eternal  City.</p><p>In AD 64, after Feli\u2019s death,  Desiderata had scores to settle and a \u2018twin sister\u2019 to bury. Her new  friends the Christians gave her sanctuary, but her relationship with  them was a bit strained. Soon the \u2018Community\u2019 and their blind prot\u00e9g\u00e9e  had to part company. Eventually, assisted by her uncle Balbus,  ex-centurion of the X Fretensis legion, she found a path out of her  troubles, and helped him search for a stolen treasure.</p><p>So,  1928 years later, Daisy went looking for a gold cache from antiquity,  hoping to solve a new mystery, and even more to reconnect with Desi, her  soulmate from ancient Rome.</p>",
