Murder and intrigue in Ancient Rome . . .
In the arena of the amphitheatre, the corpses of her enemies lay about. Poppea was striding towards her, but Nero? Her only son, born feet first, the cause of so much physical and spiritual pain?
"Will you?" I asked. "Could you kill him?"
Agrippina - mother of Nero, wife of Claudius - comes vividly to life in this exciting new novel set in Ancient Rome, whose glory and power, ostentation and sensual depravity mask a treacherous society that is like a gladiatorial arena. Each player is alone. Each must fight to survive - or die. Each must be prepared to sacrifice anything and anyone.
Agrippina has no choice but to fight with her wits to stay alive. Emerging victorious in the secretive plot to end the reign of Tiberius, she also proves to be a formidable opponent to her insane and cruel brother, Caligula. But as she rises to power as the wife of Claudius, her one weakness becomes apparent: her ambitious love for her son, Nero.
As the relationship between mother and son crumbles, Agrippina knows what the future must hold: kill or be killed . . .
