Produktbeschreibung

Rome's new hero may prove to be her greatest enemy yet! The tyrant king, Lucius Tarquinius, is banished from Rome and the republic is born. But Rome is still a divided nation and it's not long before tensions between the classes begin to rise. Into this turbulent arena strides Caius Marcius, a young patrician who despises the plebeians. His mother, Volumnia, consulted the Sibyl before his birth and learned that her son had a glorious destiny. In Ancient Rome, that means being a great warrior and so she trains him to be the ultimate soldier. Caius wins battle after battle and the people's respect. But not the people's love. Caius's proud, unforgiving nature angers the people and they exile him from Rome, from his family and friends, and most importantly, from his mother. Without her, there is only one person Caius can turn to - Rome's fiercest enemy. Rome needs to watch out! Caius Marcius Coriolanus is returning with an army who will raze his former home to the ground. Only one woman can save Rome from total destruction, but she may have to sacrifice the thing she holds most dear to do it.

Autorenporträt

Laura Dowers is a British writer of historical fiction. An enthusiastic amateur historian since a teenager, Laura has spent the last twenty years exploring notorious characters from the Tudor era and attempting to rehabilitate their reputations by writing their side of the stories rather than the ones that are so familiar to lovers of this period. She's also written about Ancient Rome, and Victorian and 1930s England. Theatre lover, fan of classic British sci-fi shows and an adoring servant of two cats, Laura lives in London.
