Rome under Nero is a dangerous place. His cruel artistic whims border on madness, and any man who dares rise too high has his wings clipped, with fatal results.
For one family, Nero means either promotion or destruction. While his uncle Vespasian goes off to put down a rebellion in Judea, Titus Flavius Sabinus struggles to walk the perilous line between success and notoriety as he climbs Rome's ladder. When Nero is impaled on his own artistry, the whole world is thrown into chaos and Sabinus must navigate shifting allegiances and murderous alliances as his family tries to survive the year of the Four Emperors.

My Thoughts
This was a masterfully penned tale of life during the tumultuous rule of Nero and shortly after his death.
Author David Blixt's attention to detail brings the story of Rome and it's ruling families to life for readers in such an all encompassing fashion that one soon forgets that this book is fiction.
It is a sheer joy to turn the pages of this read and bear witness to the bloodshed, scandal, betrayal, and power struggles based in historical fact laid out in such an accessible and enjoyable fashion.

Readers become familiar with these people as men; experiencing their madness, brilliance, greed, ambition, successes, and failures on an extremely personal level.
While it is true that this book is the second in the series; reading it's predecessor is not required.
This book and its series is a must for any lover of Roman history.
