Empress in Exile

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Can a passionate young woman survive trapped within the gilded cage of Rome’s imperial family?

Fulvia Plautilla was used to getting what she wanted. When her powerful father arranges for her to marry Antoninus, the young Augustus and heir to Rome’s empire, Plautilla thought she had won the ultimate prize. But she soon realizes it is Geta, Antoninus’ younger brother, who has captured her heart.

Trapped in a loveless marriage, Plautilla discovers an innate talent for bird divination, fueling her desire to escape the strict confines of the imperial palace. As her skills as an augur grow and she embarks on an illicit affair, Plautilla becomes caught up in a dangerous game between two warring brothers, which threatens to risk her royal status, her family, and ultimately her life.
