A Social War
91 BC — Rome Helena must learn to navigate the city’s vicious undercurrents before Sulla returns from crushing Rome’s defiant eastern provinces. Caecilia, the villa’s formidable senior slave, tutors her in the ways of polite Roman society, while Helena uses her keen instincts to become the eyes and ears of Demophon, Sulla’s crippled spymaster. When Demophon is crucified and Caecilia scourged for protecting the young woman they have grown to love, Helena’s resolve hardens into vengeance.
