Historical
When Zenobia takes control of her own fate, will the gods
punish her audacity? Zenobia, the proud daughter of a Syrian sheikh, refuses to
marry against her will. She won’t submit to a lifetime of
subservience. When her father dies, she sets out on her own,
pursuing the power she believes to be her birthright,
dreaming of the Roman Empire’s downfall and her ascendance
to the throne. Defying her family, Zenobia arranges her own marriage to the
most influential man in the city of Palmyra. But their union
is anything but peaceful—his other wife begrudges the
marriage and the birth of Zenobia’s son, and Zenobia finds
herself ever more drawn to her guardsman, Zabdas. As war
breaks out, she’s faced with terrible choices. From the decadent halls of Rome to the golden sands of
Egypt, Zenobia fights for power, for love, and for her son.
But will her hubris draw the wrath of the gods? Will she
learn a “woman’s place,” or can she finally stake her claim
as Empress of the East?
