Theodora: Actress, Empress, Whore (Empress Theodora #1) by Stella Duffy

'A witty, moving, sexy novel that bursts with as much colour and excitement as the city of Constantinople itself . . .a joyous and energetic read' 
Financial Times

Charming, charismatic, heroic -
Theodora of Constantinople rose from nothing to become the most powerful woman in the history of Byzantine Rome. When her father is killed, the young Theodora is forced into near slavery to survive. But she is determined to shape a very different fate for herself.

From the vibrant streets and erotic stage shows of sixth-century Constantinople to the holy desert retreats of Alexandria, Theodora brings a fascinating world vividly to life again.
