About the Book
From the national bestselling author of "Daughters of Rome" and "Mistress of Rome" comes a tale of love, power, and intrigue spanning the wilds of the Empire to the seven hills of Rome.Book Synopsis
A tale of love, power and intrigue from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Briar Club. Powerful, prosperous, and expanding ever farther into the untamed world, the Roman Empire has reached its peak under the rule of the beloved Emperor Trajan. But neither he nor his reign can last forever...Brash and headstrong, Vix is a celebrated ex-gladiator returned to Rome to make his fortune. The sinuous, elusive Sabina is a senator's daughter who craves adventure. Sometimes lovers, sometimes enemies, Vix and Sabina are united by their devotion to Trajan. But others are already maneuvering in the shadows. Trajan's ambitious Empress has her own plans for Sabina. And the aristocratic politician Hadrian--who is both the Empress's ruthless protégé and Vix's mortal enemy--has ambitions he confesses to no one, ambitions rooted in a secret prophecy. When Trajan falls, they all will be caught in a deadly whirlwind that may seal their fates, and that of the entire Roman Empire...
