Description
Set at the heart of a Roman dynasty drenched in danger, intrigue and Machiavellian power struggles, the first book in Conn's brand-new series follows Empress Agrippina's battle to secure her son Nero's succession.
Ancient Rome, AD 37
The fate of a dynasty hangs in the balance. Into this fevered forum, Agrippina, granddaughter of Emperor Augustus, gives birth to a son—Nero. Imperial blood courses through their veins but will offer no protection. If they are to survive amongst tyrants, they must learn to walk a razor's edge.
Agrippina knows all too well that darkness and power plays of Machiavellian proportions lie at the empire's shadowy heart. She faces soldiers, senators, rivals, and silver-tongued pretenders, each vying for position.
But even in her darkest moments, Agrippina sees the glint of opportunity. She will shape this boy into Rome itself—the one all must kneel before.
But first, mother and son must survive...
