Rome's Sacred Flame

THE EXPLOSIVELY GRIPPING, 300,000 COPY BESTSELLING ROMAN EPIC SERIES, PERFECT FOR FANS OF GLADIATOR

Rome, AD 63. Vespasian has been made Governor of Africa. Nero, Romes increasingly unpredictable Emperor, orders him to journey with his most trusted men to a far-flung empire in Africa to free 500 Roman citizens who have been enslaved by a desert kingdom.

But when Vespasian reaches the city, he discovers a slave population on the edge of revolt, and before long tensions spill over into bloody chaos. Vespasian must escape the city with all 500 Roman citizens and make their way across a barren desert, battling thirst and exhaustion, with a hoard of rebels at their backs. Its a desperate race for survival, with twists and turns aplenty.

Meanwhile, back in Rome, Neros extravagance goes unchecked. All of Romes elite fear for their lives as Neros closest allies run amok. Can anyone stop the Emperor before Rome devours itself? And if Nero is to be toppled, who will be the one to put his head in the lions mouth?
