TYRANTS AREN'T BORN. THEY'RE RAISED.
Travel to the heart of a Roman dynasty drenched in danger and intrigue in master storyteller Conn Iggulden's bold and brilliant return to Rome as he tells the story of Nero - last of the the Julio-Claudian emperors . . .
'This pacy, bloody and impeccably researched novel will have you on tenter-hooks throughout' iNews
'Deft and robust storytelling, that whips through the history with plenty of blood, guts and plot-twists' The Times
'Epic and in a class of his own' Daily Mirror

ANCIENT ROME, AD 37
It begins with a man's hand curled around another's throat.
Emperor Tiberius first dispatches a traitor.
Then his whole family.
Next all his friends. It is as if he never existed.
THIS IS ROMAN JUSTICE.
Into this fevered forum, a child is born.
His mother is Agrippina, granddaughter of Emperor Augustus. But their imperial blood is no protection. The closer you are to the heart of the empire, the closer you are to power, intrigue, and danger.
She faces soldiers, senators, rivals, silver-tongued pretenders, each vying for position. One mistake risks exile, incarceration, execution. Or, worst of all, the loss of her infant son.
For Agrippina knows that opportunity waits, even in your darkest moments. Her son is everything. She can make this boy, shape him into Rome itself - the one all must kneel before.
BUT FIRST, THEY MUST SURVIVE . . .
This then is the story of Nero's birth and raising under the watchful and scheming eye of his mother Agrippina - a woman every man crossed at his peril.
