Produktbeschreibung

Rome's new hero may prove to be her greatest enemy yet!

The tyrant king has been dethroned. The Roman Republic is born.

The people are free to govern themselves, 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 Coriolanus, a young patrician who despises the plebeians. Trained from childhood to be a fearless and fearsome fighter, he soon becomes Rome's greatest warrior and earns the respect of the people.

But not their love!

Caius's proud nature inflames the people's resentment against him, and they insist the new republic rids itself of this troublesome manchild. Caius is banished from Rome, from his friends and family, and most disastrously, from his mother!

Without her guiding hand, there is only one person Caius can turn to - Rome's greatest enemy!

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.
