"A high-gauge stainless steel needle was not the way I thought I would die."

About to be terminated by a Berlin gangster working for her lifelong nemesis, ex-Praetorian Aurelia Mitela must draw on every ounce of courage, wit and resourcefulness inherited from her Roman ancestors to survive.

Intensely loyal to her beloved country of Roma Nova – a phoenix from the ashes of the ancient Roman Empire – Aurelia has spent her life defending its honour. Now, her investigation into the theft of Roma Nova’s vital national asset – silver – has led her to Berlin where she finds herself ensnared in a deadly web of betrayal, heartbreak and peril. Then her enemy reaches into the heart of her family.

As the danger closes in, Aurelia faces a devastating choice: What – or who – will she risk everything to save? Her unwavering loyalty to her country? The safety of her young daughter? Or the man she loves?

Set in the late 1960s, AURELIA is the thrilling first of the Aurelia Mitela adventures – Roman fiction brought into the 20th century through an alternative history lens. the story continues in NEXUS (novella), INSURRECTIO and RETALIO.

"A racing climax and a fully satisfying ending"
