Her life would be proclaimed by scandal and suspicion, worship and adoration.... At the tender get older of 14, Livia Drusilla overhears her father and fellow aristocrats plotting the assassination of Julius Caesar. Proving herself an astute confidante, she becomes her father's chief political advantage - and reluctantly enters into an beneficial relationship to a prominent military official. Her mother tells her, "It's possible for a woman to influence open public affairs," reminding Livia that - while she owns an enthusiastic sense for the machinations of the Roman senate - she must also stay patient and useful. But persistence and practicality disappear from Livia's brain when she matches Caesar's heir, Octavianus. At only 18, he exhibits both electricity and modesty. A wife by that time, Livia discovers herself drawn to the golden-haired son. With time, his fortunes will surge as Livia's family faces terrible hazard. But her pointed intellect - and her center - will lead Livia to make an unbelievable choice - the one that gives her better sway over Rome than she might have ever foreseen.
