The mostly true story of a woman labelled an unscrupulous whore, a devious manipulator and a cold-blooded murderer. Rome’s first and most infamous Empress: Agrippina.

The Roman Empire is a fledgling, Augustus is dead, his desired successor not yet of age so the empire passes into the depraved rule of his step-son, Tiberius. But Tiberius’ grip is weak and the Empire clamours for a strong ruler, one with the blood of Augustus. Such blood becomes a desirable and deadly commodity.

Born to follow in the footsteps of their Imperial grandfather, Nilla and Gaius find themselves orphaned and alone amongst the treachery and ambition of the political machine that is the early Roman Empire. Their parents were slain, their brothers are rivals, their blood makes them a target; both must learn to be ruthless in order to survive.
