AD 69. As this most dramatic year draws to a close, now is the time to
choose a definitive side. Whilst Vitellius enjoys the trappings of power
around him, machinations are afoot. In the East, Vespasian has his eye
on the throne, but he needs help preparing Rome for his plans and, for
his teenage son Domitian, protection from Vitellius' agents. With her
characteristic flair, and lashings of skulduggery, sex, brutality, and
humour, L. J. Trafford brings her Roman quartet, tracing the Year of the
Four Emperors, to a spectacular conclusion.
