Julius Caesar is dead, assassinated on the senate floor,
and the glory that is Rome has been torn in two.
Octavian, Caesar's ambitious great-nephew and adopted
son, vies with Marc Antony and Cleopatra for control of
Caesar's legacy. As civil war rages from Rome to
Alexandria, and vast armies and navies battle for
supremacy, a secret conflict may shape the course of
history. Juba, Numidian prince and adopted brother of Octavian,
has embarked on a ruthless quest for the Shards of
Heaven, lost treasures said to possess the very power of
the gods-or the one God. Driven by vengeance, Juba has
already attained the fabled Trident of Poseidon, which
may also be the staff once wielded by Moses. Now he will
stop at nothing to obtain the other Shards, even if it
means burning the entire world to the ground. Caught up in these cataclysmic events, and the hunt for
the Shards, are a pair of exiled Roman legionnaires, a
Greek librarian of uncertain loyalties, assassins, spies,
slaves . . . and the ten-year-old daughter of Cleopatra
herself. Michael Livingston's The Shards of Heaven reveals the
hidden magic behind the history we know, and commences a
war greater than any mere mortal battle.
