Crippled by shyness, shunned for being not-right-in-the-head, gifted artist and Roman noblewoman, Marcia Mica, has only two people in the world who truly love her – her teacher, Daedalus, and her childhood friend, Asterion, both slaves in her father’s household.
But when forbidden love blooms between the unlikely friends, only disaster can come of it. That disaster leaves Marcia horribly scarred and Asterion sold into the arena.
Only the power of Sabrina, a grieving healer, and the dreams of a Celtic Seer on the other side of the Roman Empire have any chance of healing past wounds and reuniting lost loves. Yet can scars that are more than just physical ever really be healed and can those whose lives are owned by others ever truly be free to follow their hearts?
