Rome, 70 BCE. Tiro serves Marcus Tullius Cicero, an ambitious advocate without an aristocratic name or private army. Cicero’s decision to prosecute the corrupt former governor Gaius Verres brings him against the most powerful legal establishment in Rome and turns a courtroom case into the foundation of a political career.
Narrated by Tiro, the novel follows Cicero’s rise through rhetoric, evidence, alliance and calculated risk. His pursuit of the consulship draws Pompey, Crassus and the Senate into a contest over whether talent and law can overcome inherited power.
