When the trial of a senator, the right-hand of dictator Sulla, began on charges of rape, murder, and corruption, no one in Rome imagined he would be convicted of any of his many crimes. Not only did the accused hire the best lawyers and bribe the judges, but he also employed assassins ready to eliminate anyone daring to oppose him. In truth, no lawyer had the courage to present the case to the public prosecutor until a young, inexperienced man named Julius Caesar accepted the challenge. Santiago Posteguillo narrates an almost unknown period in the life of one of history's most studied and researched figures. It is an exciting novel where we meet the young Caesar, his love story with his wife Cornelia, his beginnings as a lawyer, and his dream—no more than young, impossible aspirations—to build a more just and equitable Rome.
