Description

Rome stands at the threshold of greatness, its borders expanding and prosperity reigning. Yet beneath the surface, cracks begin to show. War has taken its toll, whispers of sickness in the East spread fear among the people. As the empire teeters on the brink of disaster, one man must hold it together. To Rome, he is their emperor, their Hercules, their Commodus. But Commodus is a fragile figure, his grip on reality tenuous at best. It is only when darkness closes in that one woman can bring him back from the edge. She was once nothing to Rome, just a plaything for the emperor. To Commodus, she was everything. This standalone novel, part of the Damned Emperors series, offers a gripping tale of power, corruption and the human condition.
