One of history s most notorious assassinations sets the stage
for a riveting tale of political intrigue, epic battle, and
righteous retribution in a new novel of ancient Rome from #1 "New
York Times" bestselling author Conn Iggulden.
Julius Caesar has been cut down. His blood stains the hands of a
cabal of bold conspirators, led by famed general Marcus Brutus whom
Caesar once called a friend. Have these self-proclaimed liberators
bravely slain a power-mad tyrant or brutally murdered the beloved
Father of Rome? Hailed as heroes by a complicit Senate and granted
amnesty, the killers eagerly turn toward plotting the empire s
future under their control. But Caesar s death does not rest easily
with all of Rome. For two men whose bonds of friendship, family,
and fidelity to the emperor are unbreakable, the shocking
assassination is nothing less than treason. And those responsible
must pay with their lives.
Through countless battles and years of peace, Marc Antony has
wielded a sword and raised a cup at Caesar s side. Now, in the wake
of the cold-blooded coup, he is powerless against the political
might of Brutus and his treacherous senators. Yet, with no weapons
other than eloquence and outrage, Antony will turn the tide of
public opinion and spark a rebellion that will set the streets of
Rome ablaze. At the same time, Gaius Octavian, adopted son and
chosen heir of Caesar, has gained wealth beyond imagining and
influence throughout Roman dominions. But the soul-deep wound of
his father s death will never be healed by gold or power. He will
rest only with the blood of the killers on his blade.
Drawn together by their common cause, Antony and Octavian
marshal their forces into an avenging army on a mission to reunite
all that Caesar s fall has torn asunder. Even as his cohorts flee
for their lives or fall prey to vigilantes a defiant Brutus vows
never to relinquish what his ruthless ambition has won him. As
opposing legions join in mortal combat, the destiny of Rome will
turn on which of their commanders is the mightiest and most
cunning.
Marking the author s triumphant return to the setting of his
celebrated Emperor series, "The Blood of Gods "unfolds with
unmatched power, electric with the high-adventure storytelling,
captivating historical detail, and stirring battle scenes for which
Conn Iggulden is renowned.
