September 19, 2024 – City Owl Press is overjoyed to announce the signing of Eden Maddox in a four-book deal for her series, THE SEAL OF ROME. Unique and fiery, this Spartacus inspired fantasy romance and suspense hybrid will make Blood and Sand fans rejoice at its female-led series with gladiators in tow!
“In unanimous and overwhelming assent by our acquisitions team, we are thrilled to be able to sign this exciting and innovative series from a truly talented author,” said Tina Moss, Chief Operating Officer.
Eden Maddox has been fascinated by ancient Rome since childhood. Often researching in her free time, she even took Latin I and Latin II in high school just for fun. But it wasn’t only the facts that consumed her—she had a keen psychological attraction to the extremes of human nature. How could a society so advanced and cultured also be so cruel and violent? And even more haunting, what if that volatile time was examined through the lens of modern values?
Rendered by her love of suspense, romance, and fantasy, these questions evolved into a genre mashup that reinvents history in a gripping, surreal exploration of the best and worst of us.
Everyone knows the heroes of history. She wants to tell the stories of those who prevented it.
