Murder. Passion. Power.
A page-turning historical fiction novel about a prince of Rome and his pursuit of the throne.
Rome, 579 BC
King Lucomo is murdered by hired assassins and the throne passes to his adopted son, the low-born Servius Tullius.
But as Lucomo's grandson Lucius Tarquinius grows up, he comes to believe the throne is his birthright. Forced into a subservient position, Lucius grows resentful and starts to undermine Servius's authority at every opportunity.
Embarking on an affair with his brother's wife who urges him on, Lucius is determined to depose Servius and seize the throne.
A prophecy has foretold Lucius will not succeed in holding onto the throne.
Is he strong enough to defy his destiny?
The Last King of Rome is Book I in The Rise of Rome series.
