Vow

It is the Golden Age of Rome. The security of the empire depends on the sworn purity of the Vestal Virgin priestesses, an oath they must honour on pain of death. In return, they are adored, worshipped and watched.

So when a gladiator with a dark and mysterious past stumbles into Vestal Aemilia’s seemingly perfect life, her world is thrown into turmoil. She knows nothing about love, except that for her it risks ruin.

In a city where truth does not stand a chance, when the empire’s glory is imperiled, how can she withstand the vicious lies, political conspiracies and the wrath of Emperor Augustus, if she is to survive the fight for her life and also her love?
