‎The Silver Wolf‎

‎Decadent Rome in the Dark Ages is mired in a crumbling grandeur. Into the Eternal City comes Regeane, a beautiful young woman distantly related through her dead mother to Charlemagne. Regeane's regal blood renders her an unwilling pawn in the struggle for political power. But unknown to those plotting her destiny, the blood she has inherited from her murdered father gives her preternatural agility and strength, primal memories extending back thousands of years and senses so keen they can pierce the veil of death itself. Regeane is a shapeshifter, woman and wolf, hunter and hunted.451p. Book‎

Gaia has been selected as the new Vestal Virgin, and when she disappears Falco is officially asked to investigate - closely watched by Titus Caesar, whose new ladylove Berenice is under suspicion from scandalmongers, and by his two ex-partners Petronius and Anacrites, who both have personal reasons to hope he will slip up. Aelianus, the resentful brother of Falco"s girlfriend Helena, is also aiming to join the establishment. In the Sacred Grove of the Arval Brothers, Aelianus stumbles on a gruesome corpse, which then disappears. He too asks Falco for advice, and as their delicate enquiries proceed among Rome"s most ancient and influential cults, it becomes clear that the murder, its obvious cover-up, and the fate of the missing child may all be mysteriously linked. Finding Gaia is then a race against time, ending in Falco"s most terrifying exploit yet.... " Book‎

‎Blond, Anthony‎

‎Blond's Roman Emperors‎

‎"Anthony Blond pens portraits of the Emperors of Ancient Rome that are revealing and, at times, hilarious. Julius Caesar, founder of the dynasty, shows up as an arrogant charmer and a swank; Augustus, his great-nephew, as a lonely little man who uses lifts in his shoes; Tiberius, his son-in-law and stepson, as a mean-spirited but honourable public servant; Caligula, doubly royal, as a fairy-tale black princeps, loved by his servants; Claudius, his uncle, as the most scheming and murderous of all and the only undivided heterosexual; Nero, his stepson and great-great-grandson of Augustus, as an architectural visionary who is anti-"human"- blood-sports. The Emperors themselves are set against their background in a series of essays on the Roman army, sexual mores, life in Rome, the institution of slavery, Roman law and lawyers (notably Cicero), the Herods and the Jews. In films like Ben Hur and Quo Vadis, and novels like Robert Graves's I, Claudius and Anthony Burgess' The Kingdom of the Wicked, the Emperors are seen as monsters capable only of organizing orgies. Blond uses the latest biographies and recent archaeological research, in a work that is informed as it is individual. He challenges the popular view of these very different characters and puts the record straight. " 210p. illus.index Book‎
