"He was a gift from the sea, but he brought the fire of Rome with him."
When two-year-old Nikos finds a shivering baby washed ashore in a crate, he doesn't see an enemy. He sees a brother. Despite the wooden toy in the boy's hand-a Roman horse that should have been a warning-Nikos's family takes the stranger in, naming him Silas and raising him as a son of Greece.
For fifteen years, they are inseparable. They train together, bleed together, and fall in love in the quiet shadows of the olive groves. But when the Roman legions invade, the secret Silas has carried in his blood finally boils over.
Now, they are on opposite sides of a bloody war. Nikos is a rebel fighting for his home; Silas is a Roman weapon reclaimed by his people. When they meet on the battlefield, it's with knives at each other's throats and hearts breaking in their chests.
Can love survive a war where they are sworn to kill one another? Or will the tide that brought them together finally pull them under?
