Book
Lady of the Eternal City
First published 2015
Sabina is empress beside Hadrian but remains caught between the emperor and Vix, the soldier who once loved her. The balance becomes more dangerous when Hadrian's attachment to Vix's son Antinous turns the young man into the centre of the imperial household.
Antinous's death in Egypt drives Hadrian towards grief, religious commemoration and increasing isolation. Sabina and Vix form an uneasy alliance to protect their families and the succession as the emperor's final years destabilise everyone around him.
