The first novel in a series set in first-century Rome, Roma Amor is about a young nobleman who wants a simple life of fighting barbarians after his older brother's suicide. However, his heart and honor are tested by a strong-willed barbarian girl and by his powerful father, who forces him to take his brother’s place with the mercurial new Emperor, Caligula Caesar.

"Love me you may not; but by Isis, you will fear me!"
