Camilla is a young, beautiful woman of Ancient Rome. Her parents are rich, her slaves obey her, men vie for her attention, and all that know her envy her. Camilla, however, is less than satisfied with her life. She feels her parents need to give her space, let her do what pleases her, and go out into the world and figure things out for herself. Against their will, Camilla meets a man. A powerful man, who shows her how she can have all people groveling at her feet in fear and awe. But will her new-found power prove to be her ultimate destruction?
