Empire of Desires

"The goddess Freya blessed me with a vision. I stood upon the hill and watched a Rome burned..."

All her life, Alina was told that just because she was a female, she could not ever become a true warrior. The eldest child of Kaiser and Ayanna, refused to believe that. Deeply in love with her childhood friend Eryx, the young woman would like nothing more, than to retire with him, and have his children. Her parents even built a city for their protection. Though they are not in Roman territory anymore, they know their families are not safe unless the empire promises to eternally leave them alone.
But they know Rome would never accept it.
