Lady of the Eternal City

Empress of Rome, Book 4

By: Kate Quinn

Narrated by: Elizabeth Wiley

Elegant, secretive Sabina may be empress of Rome, but she still stands poised on a knife's edge. She must keep the peace between two deadly enemies: her husband, Hadrian, Rome's brilliant and sinister emperor; and battered warrior Vix, who is her first love. But Sabina is guardian of a deadly secret: Vix's beautiful son, Antinous, has become the emperor's latest obsession.

As tragedy sends Hadrian spiraling into madness, Vix and Sabina form a last desperate pact to save the empire. But ultimately the fate of Rome lies with an untried girl, a spirited redhead who may just be the next Lady of the Eternal City....

Critic reviews

"This is a feast for historical readers." ( RT Book Reviews)

I got angry, I got sad, I became happy

A very good listen. And the end is wonderful. :) Fifteen words, is too many. Why can’t I just leave stars.

Her writing and how she weaves history with fiction

This was was the last book of the Flavian era of Rome. Well done all.

SO good

I loved how the whole series didn’t follow one person the whole time. It touched on numerous people’s lives like a kind of web that connected everyone. This was a great conclusion to a great series.
