The Story
The greatest moment in Roman history, from the perspective of the man who could have had it all.
Julius Caesar is dead. Mark Antony, his second in command, is surely also in the sights of the assassins.
But for Antony, where there is danger, there is opportunity. Can he seize the chance, and replace Caesar as Rome’s undisputed ruler?
The portents are good until a young man by the name of Octavian appears, claiming to be Caesar’s heir…
The months and years that follow are a time of shifting alliances, betrayals and score settling. Above all, Antony must fulfil his vow to avenge Caesar and destroy his killers, Brutus and Cassius, while also stopping Rome from falling apart…
Perfect for fans of S.J.A. Turney and Conn Iggulden.
