Description:
It’s 90 AD and Rome rules the world. Unfortunately, the cruel and sexually deviant Emperor Domitian is in charge, and life is terrifying for those around him. Domitia Longina is Domitian’s wife. Insecure and frightened due to the fact her husband seems to prefer the bed of others, including his niece, Julia. Fearful she may be seen off, Longina asks her nephew Lucius to move into the palace and be her spy. His once noble family has been ostracized since his father plotted to overthrow Nero thirty years earlier, and Lucius has gone from being the son of a senator to studying law. He is not happy when his aunt makes him an offer he can’t refuse. Lucius, now known as Parthenian, is barely settled into his quarters when he witnesses the murder of a senator. The guards want him dead, but the Empress wants him alive. Being quick witted and loyal, soon Parthenian is spying for everyone. He befriends a woman named Marcella, not knowing that she is a sorceress. When the emperor decides to stage some gladiatrix games, he chooses Aria to fight. Aria is best friends with Corelia, the emperor’s favourite concubine. Unfortunately, Parhenian too falls in love with the beautiful Corelia, a certain death sentence. But while some want Parthenian dead, someone is protecting him. Meanwhile, outside the gates of the Imperial Palace lies the Subura, a neighbourhood of Rome even the guards and soldiers avoid. It is the perfect place to practice Christianity, outlawed by the emperor and punishable by death. Still, a few manage to infiltrate the royal staff, leaving Parthenian with something else to worry about. And just when he thought things couldn’t get worse, Domitian decides to go to battle, and takes Parthenian with him. Filled with intrigue, dalliances and political corruption, the End of a Dynasty is a page turning historical epic set against the grandeur of Imperial Rome. It is the third in the series following on from The Eagle’s Nest and The Wolf’s Lair and Season of the Gladiatrix. Praise for this series: ‘A gripping story that is rich in historical detail.’ – Robert Foster, best-selling author of ‘The Lunar Code’.
