Amid the grandeur and violence, love struggles to bloom

Uncertainty. Fear. Salaria lives in their shadow, surviving the bite of the yoke upon her. As punishment, she’s thrown into a world of raw brutality, of lust, and blood.
Her survival depends on the proud ex-Chieftain who offers her protection.Tritus’s hatred of Rome is surpassed only by his quest for revenge.
Forced together to survive, their hearts burn for more. But love is a luxury no slave can afford. Their lives or deaths to be decided by the whims of a fickle crowd.Drawn together, determined to survive, they must find the strength to overcome. If they fail, they will lose more than just the fragile love they’ve found. The cost will be the lives they cling to so ardently.
