Description
A heart-stopping epic about a Jewish slave girl and Rome's greatest gladiator, who become embroiled in a plot to assassinate an emperor. Orphaned by Rome's savage legions, Thea, a slave girl from Judaea, has learned what it takes to survive. She finds tenderness with gladiator Arius, but their bond is severed when she is sold again. Years later, singer Athena appears to have left her troubled past behind. However, she soon catches the eye of the Emperor himself, drawing her into a world of decadence and depravity. Unbeknownst to Domitian, the greatest threat lies next to him - a slave girl who has come to be known as the Mistress of Rome. As treachery and murder unfold, Thea's past and present collide in a deadly game of cat and mouse. With passion and violence at its core, this epic tale explores the complexities of human nature in ancient Rome.
