He can't refuse, but if Hadrian's enemies discover his Christian faith, will it mean death for everyone he loves? Titianus's cousin Sabina returns as a widow to her father's house after six years of misery in a marriage that sealed a political alliance. She's dreading the next marriage Grandfather will arrange with someone seeking his support. When her brother's best friend Kaeso offers the encouragement and friendship she's longed for, can she escape the chains of society's expectations to gain what her heart desires? The new tribune Glabrio wants two things as Titianus trains him: to discover for their commander who Titianus is investigating and to gain the support of Titianus's powerful relatives. Marrying Sabina would secure the backing of her grandfather, but because of the teacher, she's making choices no noblewoman should. As he gets closer to both his goals, will he realize in time what matters most?
