Marius has been stationed on the island of 60AD Britannia
for sixteen years, his demotion from the famous Praetorian
Guard to Centurion brought about when he was suspected of
involvement in the assassination of Caligula. He is
intimately aware of his duty, even when it clashes against
the natural compassion he tries to subdue, and he secretly
wants nothing more than to get off this accursed island so
he can return to his home. Once a celebrated Roman hero,
Marius still clings to the old traditions as a fair but
tough leader to his men. When Delia enters his life, she
challenges everything he believes, effortlessly strips away
years of Roman conditioning, and angers him to the point of
betraying his training--and his oaths. He simply cannot
resist her...
Delia is sister to an indolent Celtic king, but that role
has turned to nothing more than another surrender. All she
can do now is help her people survive the gradual conquest
by Rome and their suicidal pride as so many throw
themselves
against the unstoppable Roman machine. Fighting desperately
to save as many as she can, Delia knows there is no hope
for
her future. Her training as a warrior and a queen means
very
little in the wake of a declining civilization, and this
beautiful, proud woman has to struggle for every joy. The
last thing she expected was to find herself craving the
touch of an enemy...
They discover an impossible love, a surprising passion they
both thought had died, and something they had never
imagined, or thought they deserved. They are thrown into
the
clash between an Iceni queen with 50,000 angry Bretons and
a
clever Roman general with only 10,000 legionnaires.
Marius and Delia have their lives, their beliefs, and their
roles turned inside out as they find themselves fighting on
opposing sides, in love, and unable to change the future.
The revolution would spark their desire, but nearly destroy
them both.
