They defied the mighty Roman Empire for love.
Wynne was the pride of her Celtic tribe and the daughter of a powerful Druid. Though her tribe was peaceful she was aware that the Romans were her enemies. Why then did she risk her own life to save a dark-haired Roman soldier? What was it about the handsome stranger that called out to her soul, haunted her dreams, and prompted her to give up everything she treasured to be by his side?
Centurion Valerian Quillon had glimpsed death and knew his captors were going to burn him alive in a wicker cage, a sacrifice to their gods. Closing his eyes, succumbing to the potion he had been forced to swallow, he cursed the dark, shrouded figures whose chanting was driving him mad. In desperation he whispered a prayer to the Roman goddess Minerva goddess of war, to help him. Opening his eyes he was certain that the golden-haired beauty mounted on a black horse and wielding a sword had come to rescue him in answer to his plea. But though Valerian had escaped his bonds, he soon found that he was a prisoner nonetheless; a captive to the longing of his heart, body and his soul for the lovely Celtic temptress who was so gently tending his wounds.
But their new-found love was marked by heartache, treachery, lies and betrayal. Not satisfied with the subjugation of southern Britannia, the Romans had turned their eyes and army northward and were marching towards the land occupied by Wynne's tribe. Despite promises of peace by the tribune, Severus, Wynne's people were scheduled to be massacred. Now it is Valerian's turn to do everything in his power to save the woman he loves from the tentacles of the Roman army, the wrath of an evil priestess and the destruction of her freedom and their love at the hands of a powerful madman.
