And Julia challenged the gods

Staying at the top is much harder than getting there. Julia is at the peak of her power, but betrayal and family division threaten to ruin everything. To make matters worse, the physician Galen diagnoses the empress with what he, in Greek, calls karkinos, and what the Romans, in Latin, call cancer. The brutal confrontation between her two sons leads Julia's dynasty to collapse. Amidst the physical and moral pain suffered by the augusta, anyone would have given up. So many disasters accumulate that Julia feels as if she is fighting against the gods of Rome. But, in the midst of the chaos, a love story stronger than death, a passion capable of overcoming impossible trials emerges to Julia's rescue. Nothing is lost. The game for control of the empire continues.
