Prince of Rome

THE EPIC ADVENTURE FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, CONN IGGULDEN
'Peaky Blinders in Rome!' * 'A real page turner that carries you along' * 'Exciting. Our hero lives on a knife edge and takes you with him!' *
POWER IS THE PRIZE. ROME SETS THE PRICE. AD 46. After years serving with the legion, Cormac -a slave turned soldier living under a stolen name - returns to Rome determined never to be powerless again. With his closest allies beside him, Cormac sets out to win what Rome once denied him. A home and family of his own, a name no enemy can destroy and a seat among those who hold Rome's future in their hands. But every rise creates an enemy. For generations, Marcus Quinctius's family has grown rich supplying Rome's legions. He will not surrender that trade - or the wealth it brings - to an upstart. As their rivalry spreads from Rome's crowded streets to the vineyards, warehouses and ports that sustain the capital, loyalties will be tested and blood will be spilled. For the higher Cormac climbs, the more he stands to lose.
Rome rewards ambition. Until ambition becomes a threat.

'A master of the historical novel' Washington Post
