It is the year 216 BC. Livia is a Vestal Virgin sworn to the goddess Vesta. The obligations of duty, dedication, and chastity that have been her life for almost thirty years are almost ended. In just a few months she will be free to live a normal life, free to marry her childhood companion.
But the High Priestess, the Vestalis Maxima, collapses from a serious illness and Livia’s hopes splinter like Jupiter’s lightning. Thrust into the unwanted role of leadership, she must extend her duties ad infinitum. To complicate matters, the Fates lead her to Gaius, an Equestrian commander, who has loved her secretly for many years.
As summer heat and the threat of Hannibal descend on Rome, Gaius and Livia are caught in a sticky web of deceit and forbidden love that threatens both their worlds.
