Description:

Opening immediately after the assassination of Julius Caesar, here is a compulsively readable, stand-alone revenge tale about the pursuit of Caesar's killers and the rise to power of Octavian-Caesar Augustus. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Conn Iggulden. Caesar is dead. Though his assassins are cleared of any wrongdoing by the senate, two men refuse to let the great man's death go unpunished. Mark Antony has long stood by Caesar's side, and Caesar's heir Octavian is burning for justice. Their differences are many, but both share the same goal-to make Caesar's murderers pay the blood price for their crimes. When they at last come together, nothing-and no one-will stop them. Teeming with drama and intrigue and the brilliant battle sequences for which he is renowned, this is a thrilling return to the series long considered Conn Iggulden's signature achievement.
