A dramatic political thriller from the master of historical fiction. March, 44 BC Rome, in all her glory, has expanded her territories beyond anyone's wildest dreams. These victories have been led by Caius Julius Caesar, a man in command of his destiny and who wields enormous power. However, his God-given mission - to end the blood-spattered fratricidal wars, reconcile hostile factions and preserve Roman civilization and world order - is dangerously close to failure. Paralysed by plotting and intrigue at court, he has launched a military campaign against the Parthians. But his power is draining away. Neither the heroic Publius Sextius, Caesar's most faithful legionnaire and comrade of a thousand battles, the loving devotion of Calpurnia, Caesar's wife, nor the attentions of his mistress, his physician or his second-in-command can succeed in halting the plot evolving against him . . .
