Blurb

Rome. The Eternal City on the Tiber, centre of the mighty empire, in 94 anno Domini.

Gaius Octavius Pulcher, owner of one of the most respected gladiatorial schools, discovers the young slave Anea in the Forum. Her combative pride leads him to hatch a spectacular as well as dangerous plan: He has Craton, his most successful fighter, train Anea to become a gladiatoria. Initially reluctant, Craton starts to look after her, soon realizing her courage and her insatiable hunger for life.

With skill and charisma, Anea wins the favour of the Romans, who soon celebrate her an Amazon. Despite her status as idol and attraction of the Colosseum, still she stands in her teacher’s shadow.

Anea not only gets to know the cruel and unforgiving world of the gladiators, but also the intrigues of the patricians, who are threatening Gaius Octavius. Especially the beautiful Flavia Pompeia, mistress of emperor Domitianius, thwarts his plans with her power games.

When one day senator Tiberanius is murdered insidiously and Craton, accused of being the perpetrator, vanishes in Rome’s sunless dungeons, it is not only Gaius Octavius who fears for the life of his best and most loyal man...

A brilliant, colourful spectacle centred on power and love, friendship and betrayal, giving the reader the opportunity to enter the times of gladiators and emperors.

Initially, the novel will only be available in German.
