Afflicted by classic paranoia, the self-styled Master and God sees
enemies everywhere. As he vents his suspicions, no one is safe. A
reluctant hero, Gaius Vinius Clodianus is hand-picked for high rank
in the Praetorian Guard a brave man striving for decency in a world
of corruption and deceit. Flavia Lucilla, tending the privileged
women at court, hears the intimate secrets of a ruler who plays
with the lives of his subjects as if he were indeed a careless god.
In the dark shadow of Domitian's reign, Clodianus and Lucilla play
out their own complex tale of resilience, friendship and love.
Unwilling witnesses to Domitian's descent into insanity, these
ordinary people must choose between their sworn duty to protect the
Emperor and an act of courage that will change the future of Rome.
