Julia Cornelius died in her family's dungeon — hung in chains, flogged fifty times, stabbed in the gut — all for the adopted sister everyone loved and the amulet that was never hers.

When her fiancé begs to break the engagement, she forces him to swear on the spot he'll never marry any woman from her house. Her father wants her punished? She beats him to it — kneeling before the Emperor himself and asking for the one title no family can touch: Vestal Priestess, guardian of the Sacred Fire. Her mother's amulet hides a sacred spring that heals everything. A plague is sweeping Rome. The doctors are useless.

Titus — white-haired, crimson-eyed, commander of the Praetorian Guard, feared by the Emperor himself. He's been watching her since they were children. Her sworn enemy follows her to the temple to destroy her. And this time, Julia is done forgiving.
