Violent intrigue and forbidden love

Based on historical fact, this is the extraordinary story of a beautiful young Roman noblewoman--whose revenge on her parents' murderers has become the stuff of legend. And whose love for a handsome Greek physician, her fiancé's slave, is revealed here for the first time. Turia's story pulsates with the grandeur, terror and excitement of Julius Ceasar's Rome. When her parents are brutally murdered on their farm, Turia's fiancé, Quintus, leaves her in the care of his slave, Alexis. A slave for political reasons only, Alexis is overwhelmed by his growing passion for this loveley--and spirited--young woman. And Turia is increasingly drawn to Alexis... Consumed by this love, and the honor that forbids it, they also pledge vengeance on the aristocratic Romans who plotted the murder of Turia's mother and father. Their loyalty to this cause threatens their very lives...in a story which has endured for twenty centuries, and is destined to last as long as love itself.
