About This Book

A group of senators conspire to assassinate a popular military leader they fear will become a monarch; the murder triggers a struggle over legitimacy as rival factions deploy public rhetoric, shifting loyalties, and battlefield confrontations to determine the state's future. The drama probes personal honor, political ambition, and the persuasive power of speech through private doubts, ominous signs, and debates about tyranny and liberty, while friendship, betrayal, and the consequences of violent political change propel events toward civil conflict and tragic loss.
