Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
Isabella
Isabella asked Kate Quinn:

Hi, I thought that 'Mistress of Rome' would always be my favourite, but then came 'Lady of the Eternal City'! My question is: Of all the emperors you've written about (Julius, Hadrian etc...) which one did you find most interesting and why?

Kate Quinn Hadrian, probably - because he was the most contradictory, the most enigmatic, and the hardest to get a handle on. Which made him also the most maddening emperor of them all to write about, but still the most interesting!

Jenine asked Kate Quinn:

Hi Kate, I've read "Tiger Queens" and loved it as well. Why not write the story that bridges these two worlds? There is some historical evidence to suggest that ancient Sarmatians emigrated to Mongolia (http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/amazon-warrior-women-clues-evidence/1471/). What a story you could tell of the last of the Amazons fleeing to a land that doesn't try to enslave and confine their fighting spirit!

Amy asked Kate Quinn:

Hello! I love your writing; your Rome and Borgia novels are some of the best works of historical fiction I have ever had the pleasure to read - your style is truly gripping! I am really excited to read your latest instalment to the Rome series, and I was just wondering, will "Lady of the Eternal City" be published in the UK? Many thanks!
