Florentina: Dead Empress Talking,
A bold and witty reimagining Inspired by The Real Empress Faustina and her Philosopher husband,
The Roman Empire never saw her coming... and death hasn't stopped her.
History remembers Marcus Aurelius the great Stoic emperor and philosopher. But what about his wife? Enter Florentina (you might know her as Faustina the Younger), a woman whose legacy was buried under centuries of scandal, slander, and silence. Until now.
In this hilariously smart historical reimagining, Florentina is back and she's got a lot to say.
Set in a celestial Roman bathhouse beyond the veil, this novel blends witty banter, philosophical insight, and razor-sharp humour as Florentina and Marcus reunite in the afterlife to retell and rewrite their story. Between scrolls of sass, toga drama, divine drop-ins from fellow emperors, and the occasional skull d cor, this is a wild ride through love, power, memory, and the very idea of legacy.
It's part history, part satire, part heartfelt love letter all wrapped in silk, sarcasm, and scandal.
If you've ever wondered what happens when a Roman empress refuses to rest in peace, you're about to find out.
"Dead for centuries. Still calling the shots."
