| 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 __________ 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 â€“ 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 goodâ€™ Bernard Cornwell â€˜Deft and robust storytelling, that whips through the history with plenty of blood, guts and plot-twistsâ€™ 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 â€˜A master of the historical novelâ€™ 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 â€˜Another gripping page turner from the peerless master of historical fiction.â€™ ***** Reader Review Conn Iggulden, Sunday Times bestseller, June 2024
