She was a footnote in history. Now it's time for her story.
Fulvia Plautilla was used to getting exactly what she wanted. So, when her ruthless father engineers her marriage to Antoninus—the volatile heir to the Roman Empire—she believed she had claimed the ultimate prize.
She was wrong.
Instead of a marriage, Plautilla finds a prison. Her marriage is a loveless battleground, and the man who truly captures her heart is Geta—Antoninus’s fiercely charming younger brother.
Desperate for companionship, Plautilla discovers a forbidden, innate talent for bird divination. As her skills as an augur grow, she embarks on an illicit affair, plunging Plautilla headfirst into a lethal game of cat-and-mouse between two warring brothers.
In a world where women must subvert their desires for men, Plautilla’s desire to be truly loved risks her status, her family, and—ultimately—her life.
