The fifth and final instalment of Conn Iggulden's internationally bestselling Emperor series, a fictionalised account of the life of Julius Caesar, told as a fast-paced historical adventure in the tradition of Bernard Cornwell. Julius Caesar has been assassinated. A nation is in mourning. Revenge will be bloody. As the people take to the streets of Rome, the Liberatores must face their fate. Some flee the city, others will not escape mob justice. Not a single one will die a natural death. And the reckoning will come for Brutus on the sweeping battlefield at Philippi.
