Description

Cleopatra and Livia Drusilla. One was an audacious Egyptian queen and the richest woman of the known world, the other an influential Roman empress known for upholding the virtues of hearth and home. While Cleopatra ruled openly flaunting luxury and excess, Livia wielded her authority behind the scenes with strategic gravitas. The one link between them was Livia’s husband, the Roman emperor Augustus, who conquered Egypt and desired to use her fallen queen as his trophy. All of Egypt’s riches would ultimately become Rome’s except for one cache that secretly passed from Cleopatra to Livia. Because Livia Drusilla had a plan: by involving the Vestal Virgins, the most powerful cult of priestesses in the ancient world, she would launch a plot to hide the one object of Cleopatra’s priceless treasures that she believed would ensure female sovereignty, her intent being nothing less than to ensure that a woman would someday rule the world. Over two millennia later, enter Phoebe McCabe and the Agency of the Ancient Lost and Found. What begins as a kidnapping involving her nefarious ex soon unravels into a quest to find this potent treasure. That Phoebe must battle her own conscience as well the man who has plagued her for years is one thing, the quest to locate an ancient hoard buried by women who lived thousands of years ago quite another. Accomplishing this will mean plunging deep into history’s bleakest moments while battling natural as well as human forces and wrestling ethical dilemmas that pitch Phoebe against all in which she believes. From London to Rome and Pompeii, Phoebe and her agency run the gauntlet of gunrunners and art thieves, their ultimate mission being to save the art of the past for all humanity instead of just the privilege few. Yet, there is always a price to pay and the question remains whether Phoebe can afford the ultimate sacrifice.Welcome to the Agency of the Ancient Lost & Found book 6. Read more

  • The shadow of the emperor
What an exciting book to read. If you like mystery, adventure, ancient artifacts, and ancient stories you will love this book

  • Never under estimate a determined woman
Full disclosure. I am a Beta reader for Jane Thornley. That said, I believe that Shadow of the Emperor is Jane Thornley's best work to date. Ms. Thornley skillfully weaves a warp of rich historical and archaeological details against the weft of a story involving two of the most powerful women known to the ancient world - Egypt's Cleopatra and Rome's Livia Drusilla. Join the team from the Agency of the Ancient Lost and Found as they seek to unravel the mystery created by the intersection of these two women's lives while they wrestle with ethical issues which may impact their future lives. ... show more

  • Another winner from Jane Thornley
Another thrilling roller coaster ride from Jane Thornley, including Phoebe's breaking into a museum after hours and getting kidnapped by her now-nemesis, Noel, who has kidnapped her now-boyfriend Evan. Phoebe must look for a lost treasure--let Phoebe's forced adventures begin! Three of my favorite characters, Peaches and Rupert Fox and Nicolina, are also there. A trip to Pompeii--fabulous setting--then back to London, where more trouble awaits. Whew! And the author has captured the narcissistic personality superbly--creepy, smooth-talking, lying. I loved this book from the excellent Prologue to the very end, which hints at more adventures to come. ... show more

  • Wonderful reading for historical fiction
I love this series by Jane Thornley. Each book in the series is so interestingly written and historically informative. I love all the main characters and get absorbed into the story and the action and don't want the book to end.

  • Awesome
I love Jane's stories of Phoebe and the group. A modern day Indiana Jones. I love the historical stories and the artifacts involved. All with a bit of truth surrounding them
