Publisher's Synopsis
The sequel to RUBIES OF THE VIPER... AD 56 - Disgraced and impoverished, Theodosia Varro flees Italy with the man she loves. As Emperor Nero's agents give chase, they escape to a place that should offer safety and peace, only to find an unexpected foe waiting. Conflicts mount as Theodosia battles known and unknown enemies who put her life and family at risk. Ultimately, she ventures into a foreign land whose culture she does not understand-and into a brutal war zone-to salvage what remains of her dreams.
