Lady of the Eternal City

Empress of Rome, Book 4

By: Kate Quinn

Narrated by: Elizabeth Wiley

Elegant, secretive Sabina may be empress of Rome, but she still stands poised on a knife's edge. She must keep the peace between two deadly enemies: her husband, Hadrian, Rome's brilliant and sinister emperor; and battered warrior Vix, who is her first love. But Sabina is guardian of a deadly secret: Vix's beautiful son, Antinous, has become the emperor's latest obsession.

As tragedy sends Hadrian spiraling into madness, Vix and Sabina form a last desperate pact to save the empire. But ultimately the fate of Rome lies with an untried girl, a spirited redhead who may just be the next Lady of the Eternal City....

Critic reviews

"This is a feast for historical readers." ( RT Book Reviews)

I got angry, I got sad, I became happy

A very good listen. And the end is wonderful. :) Fifteen words, is too many. Why can’t I just leave stars.

Her writing and how she weaves history with fiction

This was was the last book of the Flavian era of Rome. Well done all.

SO good

I loved how the whole series didn’t follow one person the whole time. It touched on numerous people’s lives like a kind of web that connected everyone. This was a great conclusion to a great series.

Book 4, enjoyed them all

This is a great 4- part series. Love Kate Quinn and have enjoyed all her books

Thoroughly Enjoyable

I usually listen to my audible books as I fall asleep but this was so interesting that I found it difficult to go to sleep to and often extended the timer.

Such an engrossing read

I loved everything about this book. Best of the series, even though I also enjoyed the first 3. Just a ride through history that was captivating and engrossing. Great narrator and I just love this author.

Great Series, very engaging writing!

I am shocked that I never found and read a Kate Quinn book before because now that I have read this whole series, It is a gifted writer who can keep you interested in the lives of characters for 4 books. I will be reading many more! She’s a wonderful storyteller!
