Description

The Hadrian Enigma A Forbidden History by George Gardiner is a historical fiction novel set in ancient Rome. In 130 years after Christ, Rome is ruled by pagan values, and Emperor Caesar Hadrian's search for love leads to a tragic event that sets off a chain of investigation. Hadrian assigns historian Suetonius Tranquillus and his courtesan paramour Surisca to uncover the truth behind the death. As they delve into the mystery, they uncover secrets about unbridled sensuality in a culture that sanctions pride, honor, and shame. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of love, lust, and revenge in ancient Rome, where the lines between right and wrong are blurred.
