Alexandria and the Nile Delta, 88 BC. Gordianus is living with Bethesda when bandits kidnap her after mistaking her for a wealthy man’s mistress. To recover her, he enters the criminal world of the Cuckoo’s Nest and is forced to take part in an attempt to rob the tomb of Alexander the Great.

The adventure unfolds during the struggle between Ptolemy X and his exiled brother Ptolemy IX. Street violence and royal uncertainty make Alexandria increasingly dangerous, while Gordianus must outwit both the raiders and those using political disorder for profit.
