    The Rise of Rome Series

    By Laura Dowers

    ()

    About this series

    Rome's new hero may prove to be her greatest enemy yet!

    The tyrant king has been dethroned. The Roman Republic is born.

    The people are free to govern themselves, but Rome is still a divided nation, and it's not long before tensions between the classes begin to rise.

    Into this turbulent arena strides Caius Marcius Coriolanus, a young patrician who despises the plebeians. Trained from childhood to be a fearless and fearsome fighter, he soon becomes Rome's greatest warrior and earns the respect of the people.

    But not their love!

    Caius's proud nature inflames the people's resentment against him, and they insist the new republic rids itself of this troublesome manchild. Caius is banished from Rome, from his friends and family, and most disastrously, from his mother!

    Without her guiding hand, there is only one person Caius can turn to – Rome's greatest enemy!

      MURDERS, CURSES, BRUTAL ASSASSINATIONS. THE TARQUINS LIKE TO KEEP THESE THINGS IN THE FAMILY   Rome, 6th Century BC, is a brutal place.   Battles with neighbouring tribes are common and kings can be easily thrust from their thrones, through diplomacy or at the point of a sword, it doesn't really matter. When Lucomo, first of the Tarquins, is brutally murdered by hired assassins, his adopted son Servius takes the throne without the approval of the senate. Over time, he earns their trust, but his unelected accession rankles with Lucomo's grandson, Lucius.   Lucius believes the throne should be his and he's prepared to do whatever it takes to get it. And so, he and his lover set out on a path that will lead them to commit murder, regicide and usurpation.   Lucius is King of Rome, but there's a shadow darkening his victory. A terrible curse plagues the family while a prophecy foretells the fall of the Tarquins.   Can Lucius defy the Fates and secure the throne for the Tarquin dynasty? Or can the Roman Republic be seen, flexing its muscles, on the horizon?
