Book II of Empress of Rome. Rome is bathed in blood as Emperor Tiberius is tormented by drug-fueled terrors of treason. The innocent are butchered while the guilty do evil under the cover of darkness and none are guiltier than the Emperor's devoted and deluded 'son' Sejanus. In this city of poison three women are locked in lethal rivalry: Agrippina, driven mad with grief and endangering her children with plans to avenge her murdered husband; Apicata, robbed of her sight and embittered in her heart, scheming to empower the husband who despises her; and Livilla, sensuous and sly, gripped by lust for a lover as deadly as he is desirable. A nest of vipers, and Livia, the true Empress, is hell bent on vengeance - who will be Empress of Rome? https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/den-wolves-luke-devenish/
