Synopsis

MURDEROUS CONSPIRACIES. DREADFUL PROPHECIES. POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS.

THE TARQUINS LIKE TO KEEP THESE THINGS IN THE FAMILY

579 BC. Rome is a brutal place. Battles with neighbouring tribes are common and kings can be easily thrust from their thrones, through diplomacy or at the point of a sword, it doesn’t really matter.

When Lucomo, first of the Tarquins, is brutally murdered by hired assassins, his adopted son Servius takes the throne without the approval of the senate. Over time, he earns their trust, but his unelected accession rankles with Lucomo’s grandson, Lucius.

Lucius believes the throne should be his and he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to get it. Together, he and his lover set out on a path that will lead them to commit murder, regicide and usurpation.

Lucius is king of Rome, but there’s a shadow darkening his victory. A terrible curse plagues the family while a prophecy foretells the end of his reign.

Can Lucius defy the Fates and secure the throne for the Tarquin dynasty for evermore?


A gripping historical fiction novel set in Ancient Rome, available in paperback and eBook.

The Eagle in the Dovecote

À propos de l?auteur

Laura Dowers is a British writer of historical fiction. An enthusiastic amateur historian since a teenager, Laura has spent the last twenty years exploring notorious characters from the Tudor era and attempting to rehabilitate their reputations by writing their side of the stories rather than the ones that are so familiar to lovers of this period. She's also written about Ancient Rome, and Victorian and 1930s England. Theatre lover, fan of classic British sci-fi shows and an adoring servant of two cats, Laura lives in London.
