A hero will fall. An emperor will rise.
Mark Antony is Caesar’s successor, victor over Caesar’s murderers Brutus and Cassius, and the most powerful man in the world.
Yet he cannot be complacent. Octavian, Caesar’s heir, is ambitious, intelligent and ruthless. Antony must prove himself with a great military victory to hold onto his position, and marches against Rome’s old foe: the Parthian empire. But this is a formidable opponent; the bones of many legions lie on the battlefields of the East. And with the beguiling Cleopatra distracting him, can Antony come out on top?
Antony’s final years are a whirlwind of shifting alliances, betrayals and war. In the end, the Battle of Actium will decide the fate of the empire, and set the course of history for the next two thousand years.
From Alexandria to Actium, this clash established a dynasty and struck down one of Rome’s greatest heroes.

Author
Alex Gough
Alex Gough is an author of Roman historical adventures, and has a decades-long interest in Ancient Roman history. His first seriesThe Carbo Chronicles (including Watchmen of Rome, Bandits of Rome and the short story collection, Carbo and the Thief) was the culmination of a lot of research into the underclasses of Ancient Rome. His second series, The Imperial Assassin, is set in the reign of the Severan dynasty, an under-examined period of Roman history. His latest series is based on the larger-than-life character of Mark Antony, the warrior, the commander, the politician and the lover. Alex would love to interact with readers, and you can follow him on twitter @romanfiction, like Alex Gough Author on facebook, or visit his website for reviews of roman fiction and articles about Roman history: www.romanfiction.com
