Alix Senator 04. Die Dämonen Spartas

12 BC - Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, the Pontifex of Rome, and Agrippa, the powerful politician appointed as his successor by Emperor Augustus, are mysteriously killed by eagles that tear apart their entrails. Disturbed by these events, Augustus commissions his old friend, Senator Alix Gracchus, to discreetly investigate the cases. This investigation, supported by his sons Titus and Kephren (the biological son of Enak, whom Alix adopted after his death), leads Alix to the trail of the enigmatic Lord of the Birds. However, the danger is far from over; it now even threatens the Emperor himself. Ultimately, Alix will discover that the most dangerous predator hides in the heart of Rome, where no one would have suspected. A new chapter opens for the famous Roman boy Alix, created by Jacques Martin, as he matures into a senator.
