NewsOfficial Cover for Mistress of Rome Sequel!
From the national bestselling author of Daughters of Rome and Mistress of Rome comes a tale of love, power, and intrigue spanning the wilds of the Empire to the seven hills of Rome.
Powerful, prosperous, and expanding ever farther into the untamed world, the Roman Empire has reached its zenith under the rule of the beloved Emperor Trajan. But neither Trajan nor his reign can last forever . . . Brash and headstrong, Vix is a celebrated ex-gladiator returned to Rome to make his fortune. The sinuous, elusive Sabina is a senator’s daughter who craves adventure. Sometimes lovers, sometimes enemies, Vix and Sabina are united by their devotion to Trajan. But others are already maneuvering in the shadows. Trajan’s ambitious Empress has her own plans for Sabina. And the aristocratic Hadrian — the Empress’s ruthless protégé and Vix’s mortal enemy — has ambitions he confesses to no one, ambitions rooted in a secret prophecy. When Trajan falls, the hardened soldier, the enigmatic empress, the adventurous girl, and the scheming politician will all be caught in a deadly whirlwind of desire and death that may seal their fates, and that of the entire Roman Empire . . . Set for release in April 2012. Publication Date for "Mistress of Rome" Prequel
A.D. 69. Nero is dead. The Roman Empire is up for the taking. With bloodshed spilling out of the palace and into the streets of Rome, chaos has become the status quo. The Year of Four Emperors will change everything—especially the lives of two sisters with a very personal stake in the outcome… Elegant and ambitious, Cornelia is the perfect Roman wife. She lives to one day see her loyal husband crowned Emperor. Her sister Marcella holds herself aloof, content to witness history rather than make it. Even so, Marcella has her share of admirers, from a cutthroat contender for the throne to a politician’s son who swears that someday he will be Emperor. But when a bloody coup turns their world upside-down, Cornelia and Marcella — along with their cousins, one a collector of husbands and lovers, the other a horse-mad beauty with no interest in romance — must maneuver carefully just to stay alive. As Cornelia tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered dreams, Marcella discovers a hidden talent for influencing the most powerful men in Rome. In the end, though, there can only be one Emperor…and one Empress. Bonjour, Mistress of Rome"Mistress of Rome" is set to be published in France! This marks its eighth language.
