Description
The daughter of a powerful Celtic chieftain, Rhianna longed to be as free as the wild hawk soaring above the mists of ancient Britain. Instead, her tribe trembled in bondage before the hated Roman invaders. And Rhianna was further bound: haunted by her mystical gift of prophecy; enchained by her betrothal to a Celtic barbarian.
Than, as had been foretold in a terrifying vision, Rhianna was attached by a raging white boar. As in a dream, a man came forth like a magnificent god --- and swept her into his strong, sheltering arms. He was the Roman Tribune, Marcus, and in Rhianna's exquisite beauty he found a prize he would risk his honor and his life to claim.
Yet even as Marcus's kisses ignited an unquenchable fire, Rhianna's gift warned of betrayal. Ahead lay a perilous odyssey into the heart of Nero's divided Rome, and a road that led from the heat of passion to the flames of battle . . . where all would be lost or won for a dazzling, indomitable love!
