In a tumultuous time of violence, betrayal, and ruthless evil, can one charismatic young woman survive the bloodshed?
Ravenna, A.D. 408. Placidia is watching her family fall apart. When her emperor brother accuses their powerful foster father of treason, the naive imperial princess tries to reason with her sibling to no avail. And after the man is lured out of sanctuary and brutally executed, she flees the toxic court to avoid a forced marriage... but to dubious safety.
Braving increasing peril on her journey to Rome, Placidia barely survives impassable swamps, imperial assassins, and bands of barbarians. But with the city under Gothic siege, a starving populace, and violent mobs threatening civil disorder, the daughter of Theodosius the Great must navigate fraught politics to become a vigilant leader... or face an early death.
Can she rise above an empire descending into chaos?
