🔞 MATURE CONTENT WARNING. It's a Roman story... And we already know just how promiscuous they were.
🏆 SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 WATTYS AND THE OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST (SPANISH EDITION).
Rome, 410 AD. The Eternal City stands as a mere symbol of an empire crumbling under the weight of betrayal and decay. Within this landscape of promiscuity and peril, Justa-cousin to the legitimate Emperor Honorius-survives in a palace ruled by usurpation. Her only refuge is Seleukos, her lifelong companion and eternal platonic love... until destiny crosses her path in the Circus Maximus with Wallia, a barbarian whose presence ignites a blind passion within her.
While sex and desire make them forget that the outside world burns, enemies stalk from the shadows: a former lover consumed by jealousy and a Senate that turned treason into its only code of conduct. Yet, what terrifies the young woman most is not the fall of Rome's walls, but the exposure of the mystery guarding her lineage. As the last guardian of the vestals' secret, Justa must choose between blind obedience to a millennia-old tradition or rebellion for her own freedom.
