Captured by a Roman commander, Catrin is forced to live life as a boy and serve as the oracle of Apollo.
Marcellus, with his mind, wiped clean of Catrin and his life in Britannia reconnects with Catrin. Their love and forbidden relationship force the Roman Commander to sell Catrin into the Gladiator arena. Separated by the fates, the selfishness, and lies of the Roman Commander, both must find their way back together. The journey is long with deadly pitfalls at each step. Longing to return home, Catrin fights what the fates have thrown in her way. Time will tell whether Catrin can return home and what if anything is left to return to and whether she will be reunited with Marcellus.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this book.
While it is the third book in the series, it can still be read without having read the others. I would recommend that you read the entire series because this is a top-notch series that is well done. Tanner is a masterful word crafter. I look forward to hearing book 4!
