Mystery | Mystery Historical
Best known for her mysteries featuring Marcus Didius Falco,
internationally bestselling author Lindsey Davis also
possesses extraordinary skills as a historian. Now, in a
sweeping, emotionally intense tale, she unravels an ancient
mystery concerning a real Roman emperor, a woman who truly
lived, and a defiant love...
THE COURSE OF HONOR
For Romans, the career path to become a senator-"The Course
of Honor"-is often strewn with betrayal and murder. But it
has one unbreakable rule: A Roman senator cannot marry a
slave, even a freed one. Caenis, a slave in the household
of the mother of the Emperor, possesses both intelligence
and charisma. The plain-speaking soldier Vespasian, who
meets this young girl cooking in the imperial palace, soon
gives her both his appetites and his soul. Yet Vespasian is
destined for the imperial throne. And in a city of a
thousand dark alleys and sybaritic feasts where rivals are
dispatched with poison, Caenis is forbidden fruit,
dangerous to know, and fatal to pursue...unless two lovers
can somehow create a daring course of honor of their own.
