Summary
In the aftermath of Emperor Commodus' fall in the arena by the hands of Maximus Decimus Meridius, the state of Rome is left as fragile as a broken whisper.
Aurelia, Commodus' only living child through his late wife Bruttia Crispina, falls into a state of danger. To secure the safety of her niece, Lucilla orchestrates for Aurelia to be safeguarded by the Temple of Vesta, under the esteemed and powerful Vestal Virgins; watchers of the eternal flame.
Fourteen years have passed since the death of Commodus. Rome is now governed by the children of Severus Septimus, a pair of mad men driven by blood and their own desires.
Emperor Geta has turned his eye to the Temple of Vesta. The people call his power into question; to have a daughter of Commodus as a bride would be a show of power.
In an effort to protect her niece once more, Lucilla orchestrates a union of her own. Upon his return from a conquering campaign, Lucilla convinces General Marcus Acacius to request Aurelia as his bride.
Torn from her temple and faith, Aurelia is forced to play the game of emperors and pawns once again.
As a granddaughter of Marcus Aurelius, she is the rising sun over Rome.

Summary
"I know the expectations they have put on my shoulders!" He screamed, face to face with the younger man. He could see how those blue eyes widened suddenly. "And I have accepted it! I owed that to both of them!"
"You owed them? For what?"
"They helped me, believe it or not, but I was one of you once. I was given a choice and decided to try and find a different life for myself.",
"As did I!" Hanno- no Lucius got into Marcus' face and screamed. "I had a home, friends! I had a purpose I found myself!"
"Your purpose is here, your family is here!"
"They got rid of me! She swore she would come, I was there for three years before those soldiers came and burnt the villa down!"
Lucius was more and more furious with all of them, his mother, father, uncle and Acacius. The senators were already at the top of his killing list. He stared into General's brown sad eyes and chuckled sadly.
"But why do I tell you that? You don't care."
