Ancient Rome: a scorching, dark romantasy set in Ancient Rome
Firebird
What you need to know before your trail
From the moment Roman general and nephew to the emperor Julianus Dakkia laid eyes on Malina, he was enthralled by the Dacian dancer. Years later, the fierce beauty stands before him on a scarred battlefield, her life in danger. He instinctively shifts into his dragon form to save her, an action that may result in his head on the imperial gate. But he and his dragon know one thing: she belongs to them.
Malina can’t believe that the centurion who had once bestowed a secret talisman on her is the Roman general of legendary brutality. His warrior prowess cannot be denied, yet it doesn’t reveal the secret he hides. All Malina knows is his protection and gentle touch and how her soul has always seemed to answer his.
As they navigate a world where flying deathriders conquer and burn, their love will ignite a firestorm that can only end in heartbreak or death. Or both.
Travel Guide
Romania
The author says:
“This place and scene in the prologue was essential to this story. I wanted readers to first see Malina happy and whole amongst her sisters and her homeland of Dacia (now Romania) beneath the Carpathian Mountains.”
Rome
“The Forum of Rome played an integral part in the lives of Ancient Romans. In Firebird, it is the same. Vendors and merchants sold everything here—luxury imported goods like carpets and silks, pottery, spices, fruit, meat, animals, bread and grain, body oils for bathing as well as human slaves. Just about everything you can imagine was sold and bartered for in the Forum.”
