Livia Aurelia, the daughter of Senator Tiberius, grows up amidst the splendor of Rome's wealthiest elite.

Urged by her mother to secure her place among the rich and beautiful, Livia reluctantly steps into the dazzling world of Roman high society. Her natural charm and grace soon earn her a sterling reputation and draw her closer to a handsome young nobleman.

Yet, as Livia delves deeper into this glittering life, she is confronted with profound questions that shake her to her core. Faced with a choice between the fleeting allure of wealth and a life of deeper meaning, she must navigate her path with courage and conviction. Will she choose the ephemeral beauty of riches or embrace a life of purpose and fulfillment?

Join Livia on her journey of self-discovery in a world where the lines between duty and desire blur, and one woman's search for truth can change everything.All Rights Reserved

Lucretia Aurelia Appius was only fourteen years old when soldiers ordered by Pompey the Great slayed her father and mother in front of her. They would have claimed her life as well, just for being her father's daughter, had she not miraculously run into one of Rome's most powerful men: Gaius Julius Caesar. Caesar would take the scared girl into his villa, knowing she was a tool to make Pompey fall in line with him, and she wasn't worth much more... or so Caesar thought. This girl would turn out to be one of Rome's most cunning politicians, brilliant and fearsome generals and who's name would echo throughout history, using her mind, body and wiles to worm her way into the heart of Roman aristocracy, eventually rising... all the way to the top.
