The minute that Marubetta meets Lucius, she hates him – pompous, stuck-up
nephew of a Roman official! He thinks that, as a Briton, she is terribly
provincial and she finds him arrogant and big-headed.
But the year is 397 AD and life in Roman Britain is getting dangerous. And
when Marinetta’s home, close to Hadrian’s Wall, is raided, Marinetta and Lucius
are forced to act together.
