Sinopse

Conn Iggulden, a great revelation in British historical fiction, guides you on a thrilling journey through Ancient Rome, a kingdom of tyrants and slaves, of sordid intrigues and overwhelming passions. Through the life of Julius Caesar—one of the most important figures of all time, a man so strong and with such a striking personality that his name became synonymous with monarch in several languages—Iggulden creates a saga that is to Rome what the Ramses series is to Ancient Egypt.

The second installment of The Emperor trilogy, which the renowned Bernard Cornwell (author of the Chronicles of Arthur and The Quest for the Grail trilogies) expressed a desire to have written, The Death of Kings places Caesar center stage, following his first military campaigns. We see the valiant young man mature and become a natural leader of the Roman army, after escaping the yoke of pirates—who captured the ship on which he served—to engage in grand battles. Caesar fulfills his promise to end piracy and then leads his forces to Greece, where, against all odds, he defeats King Mithridates. The aging monarch leads an insurrection that threatens Roman control of the Peloponnese. Julius Caesar returns victorious and wealthy to Rome, only to discover that the corruption of the Republic is about to destroy everything he loves, including his wife and daughter.

The Death of Kings, Volume 2 of The Emperor , recreates the atmosphere of the streets of Rome, the military campaigns, the palace intrigues, and the daily life of one of the most remarkable civilizations of all time. An unforgettable novel from one of the most creative voices in contemporary historical fiction.
