LIVIA'S CONSOLIDATION. Trilogy CAESAR'S DISCIPLE - BOOK I - Eduardo Kwiatkowski

Can an institution outlive its founder?

Rome, 14 AD. The most powerful man in the world, Augustus, is dead. While the Senate conspires to divide the spoils of power and the legions await a sign, a figure emerges from the shadows of the Palatine. Not a general, nor a blood heir: Livia Drusilla.

Livia is not merely seeking to maintain order; she is executing a vision that two geniuses-Julius Caesar and Augustus-dared not complete. While Caesar dreamed of power based on merit and Augustus masked it behind an aristocratic veil, Livia decides it is time to dismantle the system of blood privileges forever.

In this first volume of the trilogy, The Consolidation of Livia, the Dowager Empress begins the most ambitious and dangerous political game of Antiquity: transforming an empire of last names into a civilization of talent. Amidst palace intrigues, secret files, and the constant threat of civil war, Livia must prove if it is possible to build a system more just than the people who designed it.

History never happened this way... until now.

Dive into a masterful political uchronia where the intellect is the deadliest weapon and the future of Rome is decided in offices, not on battlefields.
