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.
“Eve Dallas meets Lindsey Davis’s Roman detective Falco meets The Hunger Games."

Customer Reviews
Excellent book
I highly recommend this book. It has a complex plot, it certainly isn’t your every day read. There is plenty of action all throughout the book. I had a hard time putting the book down once I started reading it.
Excellent read
I have a tendency to specialise and read heavy books and buy a few with new authors to expand my mind about what is out there beyond the common way,and I am pleased to say that I am glad that I savoured the time to read this first instalment to the series and am very pleased to have read it.Unlike other authors that tend to write in a softer vein,Ms Morton wrote this book more robustly and for myself,in a strong,independent manner that means that I have purchased the rest of the series expecting the same quality,I hope that the author will receive better recognition for this series and I hope others will discover her talents beyond the usual run of authors out there.
