Her life would be marked by scandal and suspicion, worship and adorationâ¦
At the tender age of fourteen, Livia Drusilla overhears her father and fellow aristocrats plotting the assassination of Julius Caesar. Proving herself an astute confidante, she becomes her fatherâs chief political assetâand reluctantly enters into an advantageous marriage to a prominent military officer. Her mother tells her, âIt is possible for a woman to influence public affairs,â reminding Livia thatâwhile she possesses a keen sense for the machinations of the Roman senateâshe must also remain patient and practical.
But patience and practicality disappear from Liviaâs mind when she meets Caesarâs heir, Octavianus. At only eighteen, he displays both power and modesty. A young wife by that point, Livia finds herself drawn to the golden-haired boy. In time, his fortunes will rise as Liviaâs family faces terrible danger. But her sharp intellectâand her heartâwill lead Livia to make an unbelievable choice: one that will give her greater sway over Rome than she could have ever foreseen.
