The last four days had made a woman of her: she had tasted of and witnessed every passion that rends a human heart, love, ambition, cruelty, hatred The man whom she loved, loved her with an intensity at least equal to that which even now made her heart throb at the memory of his kiss.

Beautiful, young and rich, she was worshipped by men and envied by women. But then she met the handsome and mysterious Taurus Antinor - and his mission. And her life changed forever. Could she survive the blood-crazed politics of Rome? Could she fend off the advances of a mad emperor called - Caligula? The bread and circuses and romance of Ancient Rome brought to life by the author of The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Описание: Not a Scarlet Pimpernel novel, but one set in the same universe. Excerpt: This interview had occurred in May in the year 1800. A few months later half a dozen were gathered round a deal table in the low whitewashed room of the _Cabaret du P lican, a lonely house which stands at the extreme end of the village street of Soulanges. They were eating bread and cheese and drinking cider. The room gave on a side door of the cabaret. It was bare, save for the table, a rickety bench or two and an old-fashioned clock up on the wall. In the corner nearest the door a number of muskets, staves and scythes were propped up. On the table a couple of tallow candles guttered in their pewter sconces._

Описание: It's 1783 and wealthy Paul D roul de has offended the young Vicomte de Marny by speaking disrepctfully of his latest infatuation, Ad le de Monterch ri. D roul de had not intended to get into the quarrel but has a tendency to blunder into things - "no doubt a part of the inheritance bequeathed to him by his bourgeois ancestry." Incensed at the slur on Ad le, who he sees as a paragon of virtue, the Vicomte challenges D roul de to a duel, a fight which D roul de does not want - for he knows and respects the boy's father, the Duc de Marny.
