Samenvatting
This is a stunning novel that immerses us in the brutal world of the Roman Empire in the 1st century B.C. Annelise Freisenbruch is a gifted storyteller and tells a riveting tale. Highly recommended!Alison Weir
''Annelise Freisenbruch's Hortensia is a delight - passionate, articulate, fallible and, better still, inspired by a real woman. This first tale of intrigue and murder is cleverly woven in with the turbulent history of the Roman Republic, and I'm looking forward to finding out what Hortensia will uncover next.'' Ruth Downie, author of the bestsellingMedicus series
IN THE ABSENCE OF HONOURABLE MEN, WHO WILL DEFEND ROME?
The body of a Vestal Virgin is dragged out of the River Tiber
A senator bleeds to death in his bath
And as the authorities turn a blind eye, Hortensia, daughter of the capitals most celebrated orator, feels compelled to investigate a trail of murders that lead to the dark heart of Rome.
Flying in the face of her husbands and fathers attempts to protect her, rebelling against the constraints imposed upon her sex, she is drawn ever deeper into the corrupt underworld that lurks in the shadows cast by the citys all-powerful elite.
When fires begin to rage in the slums and more key witnesses are silenced, only one man can save Hortensia from becoming the next victim of a conspiracy to destroy the Republic: Lucrio, the damaged ex-gladiator to whom she already owes her life. Then the secrets of his own tragic past threaten to subsume them both
