What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Travel to the heart of a Roman dynasty beset by power struggles and betrayal in this latest chapter of the tale of Nero.
The boy Nero lives. His mother Agrippina has married her way to power, tangling the Emperor Claudius in her skirts.
The emperor may have a son and heir of his own, but Agrippina sees no obstacles to her ambition.
Rome is a path through a marsh, lit by torches. Those who walk it are always one step from disaster – and the road itself is treacherous, slippery with blood.
Claudius may have the world at his feet, but he has Agrippina in his bed.
'Breathtakingly good’ Bernard Cornwell
‘Deft and robust storytelling, that whips through the history with plenty of blood, guts and plot-twists’ The Times
'Pacy and propulsive, cracking with energy, violence and stirring speeches, Iggulden chronicles power struggles, political machinations and the bloodthirsty ravages of up-close combat' Daily Mail
‘A master of the historical novel’ Washington Post
