Ljubavnica Rima

Kate Quinn

The Mistress of Rome is a modern story based on the archetype of the courageous biblical heroine Judith, who with her strong feminine charm overthrew the strongest of the strongest: the Roman emperor Titus Flavius Domitianus.

Passionate and talented Thea is a slave girl from Judea, bought as a plaything for the evil Lepida Polia, Thea becomes a rival to her mistress in the fight for the love of Arius Barbarinus, the newest and cruelest gladiator in Rome. His love gives Thea her first happiness in life – but their relationship ends abruptly when jealous Lepida separates them. And while Lepida brings chaos into the lives of her husband and his family, Thea becomes a trained singer who sings for the Roman aristocracy. He inadvertently attracts the attention of another admirer, the capricious and charismatic Roman emperor Domitian. However, the emperor's games also have their dark side, so Tea will find herself fighting for her own soul and sanity...
