Product Description
Product Description
It is 44 BC and the rival powers of Rome are driving the republic to a violent end. A soothsayer foretells that the young Tiberius Nero, if he is wed to his cousin, the darkly beautiful Livia Drusilla, will sire four kings of Rome. Fuelled by ambition, Livia devotes her life to fulfilling the prophecy. No crime is too great when destiny beckons. So begins a murderous saga of sex, corruption, and obsession at the dawning of the age of emperors. Narrated by the 100-year-old slave Iphicles, Den of Wolves brings to life the great women of imperial Rome—Livia, Julia, Antonia, and Agrippina—women who relied on their ambition, instincts, and cunning to prosper. Luke Devenish superbly recreates these outstanding women and their times in the first book of a dramatic new series.

very disapointing, Mar 1 2011
By Scott b - Published on Amazon.com
i had high hopes for this book but it turned out to be rubbish. the characters have little or no depth the story is hard to follow as it is jumping through time 10 or 20 years at a time. and none of the characters are particularly likable. i found myself skimming through the pages just to get to the end, then when the end did come it just stopped as if the last pages were missing, there was no wrap up of the story at all.
Listmania!
