AD 68. The tyrant Emperor Nero has no son and no heir.
Suddenly there's the very real possibility that Rome might become a republic once more. But the ambitions of a few are about to bring corruption, chaos and untold bloodshed to the many.
Among them is a hero of the campaign against Boudicca. Aulus Caecina Severus. Caught up in a conspiracy to overthrow Caesar's dynasty, he commits treason, raises a rebellion, faces torture and intrigue - all supposedly for the good of Rome. However, the boundary between such selflessness and self-preservation is far from clear, and keeping to the dangerous path he's chosen requires all Severus' skills as a cunning soldier and increasingly deft politician.
And so Severus looks back on the dark and dangerous time that history remembers as 'The Year of the Four Emperors', and recalls the part he, and those around him, played - for good or ill - in plunging the mighty Roman Empire into anarchy and civil war...
Telling the thrilling story of a brief but pivotal moment in Roman history, The Last Caesar marks the debut of a remarkable new literary talent.
