Legendary for her exotic novels of faraway places teeming with adventure and intrigue, Bertrice Small has written an extraordinary tale of passion and history, sweeping readers back to fifth-century Britain and Constantinople, where battles of love and war are fought with abandon - and victory is savoured with the sweetest pleasure.
Beautiful, headstrong, and defiant, Cailin Drusus possesses the pride of her Celtic-born mother, though she has been reared among her Roman father's wealth and privilege. When Cailin's family is destroyed and their farmland seized, she marries Wulf Ironfist, a Saxon of great strength and power - a gentle giant who opens the door to a world of heady sensuality.
But her happiness is short-lived. For an unknown enemy drugs her as she labours in childbirth - and she awakens to find herself sold to a slave merchant and transported to Byzantium. Now, against seemingly insurmountable odds, she will move heaven and earth to save herself and find her beloved child . . .
