The Emperor's Silver: Agent Of Rome 5 - Plot & Excerpts
He guessed Abascantius might still be in Bostra and it seemed advisable to report his arrival in Berytus, if only to reassure his superior that he was moving forward despite the difficulties in Tripolis.

They were alone; Indavara was at the stables, visiting Patch.
