Fulvia is now a wealthy young widow, with more than gold to her name. In the wake of her husband's death, she has captured the love and loyalty of the people. And the men who rule Rome have begun to understand just how formidable she has become. There are those who fear her and those, like Julius Caesar, who see her potential.
Marcus Antonius is a powerful man in need of a commanding officer. Fulvia sees in him a man who could rule all of Rome, with her help. They marry and, when Caesar is assassinated, Fulvia and her husband begin a perilous game of playing for the ultimate power.
Love of the people. Control of an empire. Their opponents are legion: Caesar's killers, Brutus and Cassius; the wily young queen Cleopatra; the great orator Cicero, and the cold and calculated Octavian. But Fulvia has endured tragedy and condescension, and she will fight for the power and the legacy that she knows she deserves.
