A Portrait of a Woman and a Still Life of her Burger
by Candelaria Saenz Valiente

Cytheris is finally becoming famous as an actress when Marcus Antonius notices her, pulling her from the theatre to a world of politics, prophecy, and power moves. But Cytheris is only pawn. That is, until her friendship with Antonius’s rival Brutus blossoms into a love affair that blurs the lines between real feelings and political machinations. The problem is, Roman politics are rigged in favour of the elite. If Cytheris going to get out alive, she must give her best performance yet.
