Set in the reign of the Emperor Domitian in first-century Rome, "Master & God" is Lindsey Davis's meticulously research epic novel of the life and times surrounding the last of the Flavian dynasty of emperors. Domitian seizes power upon the death of his older brother. Afflicted with classic paranoia, he sees enemies everywhere. Gaius Vinius Clodianus is a reluctant Praetorian Guard - the Emperor's personal Bodyguards - who has survived physical and mental pain to rise to a high rank. Lucilla tends the privileged women at court. When Domitian's rule unravels into madness and cruelty, they find solace together. Moves against the Emperor are begun in his own household, and Lucilla must watch Gaius choose between his love for her and the risk of death - between his sworn duty and conspiracy.
