Emperor: The Gates of Rome: A Novel of Julius Caesar; A Roman Empire Novel

From the author of the bestselling The Dangerous Book for Boys
Â
Sweeping us into a realm of tyrants and slaves, of dark intrigues and seething passions, Conn Iggulden brings us a magnificent novel of ancient Romeâ‚¬"and of the early years of a man who would become the most powerful ruler on earth.

In a city of grandeur and decadence, beauty and bloodshed, two boys, best friends, dream of glory in service of the mightiest empire the world has ever known. One is the son of a senator. The other is a bastard child. As young Gaius and Marcus grow to manhood, they are trained in the art of combatâ‚¬"under the tutelage of one of Romeâ‚¬s most fearsome gladiators. For Marcus, a bloody campaign in Greece will become a young soldierâ‚¬s proving ground. For Gaius, the equally deadly infighting of the Roman Senate will be the battlefield where he hones his courage and skill. And for both, the love of an extraordinary slave girl will be an honor each will covet but only one will win. But as Rome is thrust into the grip of bitter conflict, as every Roman prepares to take sides in the coming battle, Gaius and Marcusâ‚¬s friendship will be put to the ultimate test.â‚¬Â¦
