Lady of the Eternal City

By Kate Quinn

Book Overview

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Briar Club comes a historical saga about obsession, betrayal, and destiny.

Sabina may be Empress of Rome, but she still stands poised on a knife's edge. She must keep the peace between two deadly enemies: her husband Hadrian, Rome's brilliant and sinister Emperor; and battered warrior Vix, her first love. But Sabina is guardian of a deadly secret: Vix's beautiful son Antinous has become the Emperor's latest obsession.

Empress and Emperor, father and son will spin in a deadly dance of passion, betrayal, conspiracy, and war. As tragedy sends Hadrian spiraling into madness, Vix and Sabina form a last desperate pact to save the Empire.

Amazing book!

This book is my favorite of the three. It is so good and brings to life such a distant past. The characters are rich and deep and beautifully human.
