Description:	Octavian: Rise to Power, an historical novel by Patrick Parrelli about ancient Rome
	An adventurous undertaking, this meticulously researched epic is cross-referenced with the ancient writings of Appian, Suetonius, Plutarch, and Dio. It chronicles the story of Julius Caesar’s eighteen-year-old great-nephew Octavian’s rise to power. After Caesar is assassinated in 44 BC and Octavian learns that Caesar adopted him as his son in his will, he sets out on a path of vengeance that doesn’t end until he takes his place.
