An extremely well researched espionage mystery with romance taking place in ancient Rome.


In the heart of ancient Rome, where marble statues guard their secrets and the Senate chambers echo with whispered plots, two lives converge -- a man known as Marcus and the nobeautiful and reticent Kyra.


Kyra, a young medica, arrives in Rome for an arranged marriage. Her journey leads her to the heart of intrigue, where shadows cling to every cobblestone. As she glimpses the enigmatic Marcus, memories stir -- a childhood bond, secrets shared, and a forbidden attraction. Yet warnings abound: Sejanus, the emperor’s cunning right hand, eyes them both.


Marcus, once favoured by power, now treads perilous ground. His loyalty to the late son of Caesar Tiberius has cast shadows upon him. Whispers of betrayal cling to his footsteps, and the Tower of Malatha beckons -- a refuge or a trap.


As the sun sets over the Eternal City, the Tower of Malatha stands sentinel. Its stones harbour more than mere echoes; they cradle the fate of two souls entwined by ambition, love and treachery. Will they ascend to greatness or plunge into the abyss?
