Daughters of Rome

The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Briar Club presents a fast-paced historical novel about two women with the power to sway an empire. In A.D. 69, the Roman Empire is up for the taking, and everything will change - especially the lives of two sisters with a very personal stake in the outcome.

Cornelia, elegant and ambitious, embodies the essence of the perfect Roman wife. She lives to one day see her loyal husband as Emperor. In contrast, her sister Marcella is more aloof, content to witness history rather than make it. However, when a bloody coup turns their world upside-down, both women must maneuver carefully just to stay alive.

As Cornelia tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered dreams, Marcella discovers a hidden talent for influencing the most powerful men in Rome. Cornelia represents the embodiment of the ideal Roman spouse, while Marcella's detachment allows her to manipulate the political landscape. The sisters' fates become intertwined as they navigate the treacherous waters of imperial succession.

In the end, though, there can only be one Emperor...and one Empress. The sisters find themselves pitted against each other, their lifelong bond strained by the weight of their ambitions. They must decide how far they are willing to go to secure their place in history, even if it means betraying the other.

This captivating tale explores the complexities of sisterhood, power, and the sacrifices required to shape the course of an empire. The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author masterfully weaves a tapestry of intrigue, loyalty, and the relentless pursuit of glory, leaving readers wondering which sister will emerge victorious in the end.
