Brinnaria, a wilful, athletic girl of a noble Roman family, is taken as a Vestal Virgin just when she has set her heart on marriage. Bound to thirty years of service to Vesta’s flame, she rebels, schemes and endures scourging, while White fills the story with the slang, banquets, religion and street life of imperial Rome.
A lively Roman novel from the author of El Supremo, strong on the daily texture of the ancient city. Download the free EPUB.
