Fourth of the Carina Mitela Roma Nova thrillers
Roma Nova – the last remnant of the Roman Empire that has survived into the 21st century – is at peace. Carina Mitela, the heir of a leading family, but choosing the life of an officer in the Praetorian Guard Special Forces, is not so sure.
She senses danger crawling towards her when she encounters a strangely self-possessed member of the unit hosting their exchange exercise in Britain. When a blackmailing letter arrives from a woman claiming to be her husband Conrad’s lost daughter and Conrad tries to shut Carina out, she knows the threat is real.
Trying to resolve a young man’s indiscretion twenty-five years before turns into a nightmare that not only threatens to destroy all the Mitelae but also attacks the core of the imperial family itself. With her enemy holding a gun to the head of the heir to the imperial throne, Carina has to make the hardest decision of her life…

Who would enjoy reading SUCCESSIO?
- Fans of modern thrillers with a historical – Roman – twist (Plenty of espionage, conspiracy and political intrigue here!)
- Readers who liked authors such as Robert Harris, Stieg Larsson or Jason Matthews, but are open to a more original, female-led world.
- Strong female protagonists such as Lieutenant Eve Dallas in JD Robb‘s In Death series, Flavia Albia in Lindsey Davis‘s Roman detective series or any of Kate Quinn‘s leading women characters. Carina is not just tough but intelligent, principled, and emotionally nuanced.
- People fascinated by “what if Rome never fell?” and the survival of a Roman-based culture into the modern world.
- Enthusiasts of world-building and immersive, internally consistent universes.
- Series readers – Anyone who has enjoyed INCEPTIO, CARINA, or PERFIDITAS and wants to see Carina facing even more personal and political challenges. Lovers of series that develop characters over time while still delivering standalone thrills.
