| book description |

Travel to the heart of a Roman dynasty beset by power struggles and betrayal in this latest chapter of the tale of Nero AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER IN PAPERBACK NOW __________ 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. __________ PRAISE FOR CONN IGGULDEN '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 Readers love Nero 'Iggulden draws you into Rome, its brutality and its glory, and brings it back to life with such seamless ease' ***** Reader Review 'Absolute quality from first to last page, atmospheric with a real feel for time and place' ***** Reader Review 'It was fascinating to see the seeds being planted that will lead to the Nero becoming the tyrant we know through the ancient historians, but told in such a contemporary and accessible way' ***** Reader Review 'An absolutely immersive experience throughoutthat throws you into the politics of Ancient Rome' ***** Reader Review ‘Another gripping page turner from the peerless master of historical fiction.’ ***** Reader Review Conn Iggulden, Sunday Times bestseller, June 2024
