Publisher Description
“It’s about Roman blood, survival and money. Mostly yours."
A killer with a personal vendetta is hunting New Yorker Karen Brown. Desperate, she makes a snap decision to flee to Roma Nova – her late mother’s homeland and the last remnant of the Roman Empire in the 21st century. But survival in this tough, unfamiliar culture isn’t easy.
Stifled by the protective cocoon of her Roma Novan family, deceived by her new lover, she launches herself into a dangerous mission – one that could cost her everything. When the killer sets the ultimate trap, she faces an impossible choice: abandon another or sacrifice herself.
A gripping blend of thriller, romance, and coming-of-age, this alternative history novel reimagines Ancient Rome’s legacy through the eyes of a courageous young woman who learns that to survive she must stand her ground.
