Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme. It used to be hosted by The Broke and the Bookish but now it is being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is book cover freebie but I’m not doing that one. Instead, I’m doing last week’s theme which is ‘the ten most recent additions to your bookshelf’ which I thought was apt considering I was looking at the books I bought this month (and being slightly horrified at the number, my poor bank account). Some of these are book boxes, some of these were cheap on Kindle and some were presents.
We’ll see whether I get to them this year or not!
The body of a Vestal Virgin is found in the Tiber River, and soon after, A senator is found having bled to death in his bath. And as Roman authorities turn a strangely blind eye, Hortensia, the daughter of the capital’s most celebrated orator, begins investigating this trail of murders that leads straight into the dark heart of Rome.
Far beneath the surface of the earth, upon the shores of the Starless Sea, there is a labyrinthine collection of tunnels and rooms filled with stories. The entryways that lead to this sanctuary are often hidden, sometimes on forest floors, sometimes in private homes, sometimes in plain sight. But those who seek will find. Their doors have been waiting for them.
