A dangerous emperor brings darkness close to home

Rome, 83 AD. Marcus and Althea are married at last and dreaming of a peaceful life in the country, far away from their jobs managing the gore of the gladiatorial Games. But before they can leave Rome Emperor Domitian has three final tasks for them to complete, and his erratic behaviour is beginning to frighten them. Is he just strange, or is he dangerous? As the tasks grow ever darker and more and more lives are lost, perhaps it is time to take flight from Rome. But who will reach safety? And who will be left behind?

The compelling final novel in the Colosseum series, The Flight of Birds follows the backstage team of the Colosseum as they risk everything to escape the deadly Games.
