The Curse of Nero
(2026)(The second book in the Centurion Decimus Trilogy series)
A novel by Vinny Moretti
Rome stands at the edge of the abyss.
The Empire has reached the height of its power, yet beneath its gold and splendour corruption festers. Its greatest threat no longer waits beyond the frontier. It sits upon the imperial throne. As Nero sinks ever deeper into paranoia and madness, fear spreads from the Palatine to the furthest provinces. Senators whisper of rebellion. Generals begin to choose sides. The legions grow restless. The foundations of Rome are beginning to crack.
From the roaring crowds of the Circus Maximus to the terror of the Great Fire, from the sacred grounds of Olympia to the silence of the executioner's block, this novel explores one of the darkest chapters of Roman history, where ambition, loyalty, and betrayal collide beneath the shadow of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
Decimus Varian has spent his life serving Rome with unwavering discipline. Now a centurion of the Praetorian Guard, he finds himself sworn to protect the very emperor leading the Empire toward ruin. Surrounded by conspiracies, executions, and impossible choices, he must decide where loyalty ends, and where duty truly begins.
For readers who crave dark historical fiction, political intrigue, unforgettable characters, and the brutal struggle for power at the heart of the Roman Empire, this is an unflinching journey into the final years of Nero's reign.
