In the brutal world of imperial Rome, survival is a game of strategy, ambition, and blood. Agrippina, granddaughter of Augustus, knows this all too well. Her imperial lineage is as dangerous as it is prestigious—one wrong move could mean exile, execution, or the loss of her infant son, Nero.
As Emperor Tiberius’s paranoia grows and his reign inches toward its end, Agrippina’s exiled brother Caligula stands next in line, bringing her closer to the center of power. But every step forward means facing ruthless senators, scheming rivals, and silver-tongued pretenders who will stop at nothing to rise.
Conn Iggulden’s Nero launches a gripping new trilogy about the rise of Rome’s most notorious emperor, and the mother who would stop at nothing to shape his destiny.
