When Caterina Rossi flees an abusive marriage and finds refuge in Italy, she doesn’t expect to see the past. But ancient visions—triggered by a family heirloom—pull her deep into the fiery ruins of Pompeii.
Her only ally? Connor, a volcanologist who needs her help and might just heal her wounded heart.
Nearly two millennia earlier, Raedwald, a gladiator enslaved in Pompeii, dreams of freedom—until he’s tasked with guarding Aemilia, a noblewoman who defies every rule he knows. Their forbidden love blooms as Vesuvius stirs beneath them.
As Cat’s visions intensify, she uncovers eerie echoes of Raedwald and Aemilia’s tragic love—and a warning that history may yet repeat itself.
Can she break free from the past before it buries her future in ash?
