Join local author and New York Times bestselling author, Jennifer Nielsen, for a reading and signing of her new middle grade novel, The Mark of the Thief.
When Nic, a slave in the mines outside of Rome, is forced to enter a
sealed cavern containing the lost treasures of Julius Caesar, he finds
much more than gold and gemstones: He discovers an ancient bulla, an
amulet that belonged to the great Caesar and is filled with a magic once
reserved for the Gods--magic some Romans would kill for.
Now,
with the deadly power of the bulla pulsing through his veins, Nic is
determined to become free. But instead, he finds himself at the center
of a ruthless conspiracy to overthrow the emperor and spark the Praetor
War, a battle to destroy Rome from within. Traitors and spies lurk at
every turn, each more desperate than the next to use Nic's newfound
powers for their own dark purposes.
In a quest to stop the
rebellion, save Rome, and secure his own freedom, Nic must harness the
magic within himself and defeat the empire's most powerful and savage
leaders.
