Render Unto Caesar by Gillian Bradshaw
Hermogenes, although descended from a race of heroes, is content to run his business and leave valour to the legends. But when his father is killed, the young Greek is stirred to seek retribution. In Rome, corruption and prejudice are far easier found than justice. Hermogenes may be a citizen in name, but he is branded a barbarian by those who are Roman by birth - and the man who owes him money is a respected member of the city's government. As Hermogenes is drawn deeper into a maelstrom of political intrigue, he gains a formidable gladiator as his ally, a woman with scars on her heart as well as her body. Together they plot to defeat the consul at his own game. But how far is Hermogenes, willing to go to satisfy his own honour?Gillian Bradshaw's father, an Associated Press reporter from the United States, met her mother, a British embassy private secretary, in Rio de Janeiro. She was the second of four children born in Washington, DC, in 1956. With such a strong start, they didn't travel around quite as much as one might expect: Washington was followed by Santiago, Chile, and two places in Michigan. Gillian received her BA in English and another in Classical Greek from the University of Michigan, and her first novel, Hawk of May, won the Hopwood Award for fiction. She went on to Newnham College, Cambridge University, England, to pursue a degree in Greek and Latin literature, and while studying for exams, she sold her first novel. She decided to continue in Cambridge for another year to write another novel and consider what she wanted to do for a Real Career.
But, she learned she could live on her novelist's salary and met her husband, who was working on his doctorate in physics, while she was there. She never got a Real Job because of her books and children, and she's been writing novels ever since. Her spouse and she now reside in Coventry. They have a dog and four children.
