Publisher Description

It is a world of power and privilege, secrets and sacred duty. It is the world of ancient Rome. And it is the esteemed Vestal Virgins—priestesses of Vesta, goddess of the home and hearth—who protect the Eternal Flame that protects the Eternal City.

Brides of Rome

Dedicated to a thirty-year vow of chaste service, Priestess Pomponia finds herself swept up in the intrigue, violence, wars, and bedroom politics of Rome’s elite—Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Octavian and his maneuvering wife, Livia—all the while guarding the secret affection in her heart.

To Be Wolves

As chief Vestal Virgin, Pomponia devotes her life to protecting her order and the eternal flame of Vesta. In a position of esteem in Rome, she is a valued member of Caesar’s circle. But as a contagion ravages the city, she struggles to manage the Vestal order, while facing a malevolent nobleman whose machinations threaten everything she loves.

Empire of Iron

Pomponia has elevated the Vestals to a position of unprecedented prestige—and her friendship with Caesar Augustus has afforded her a life of political influence and privilege. But a ruthless enemy threatens Pomponia and all those she cares for—including the emperor himself. Faced with threats from all directions, Pomponia must be willing to sacrifice everything to protect her status, the Vestal order, and the lives of those around her.
