A poem about Pompeii's terrible tragedy by G. M. Chiquito (A.K.A. ME!)

Seventeen-year-old Aeliana Lucia Gratius is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Pompeii, and has always accepted the fact that she will be married to the man her father chooses, regardless of her own feelings. But a chance meeting with Cyprian, a poor city guard, causes her to question everything she was brought up to believe. As the two grow ever closer, she is visited by one of the Fates, a goddess named Pretia, who delivers an ultimatum: give up her love and marry the man her father chose-a quick-tempered and old-fashioned merchant the same age as her father-or lose the only home she has ever known to the power of Vesuvius. Nearly two thousand years later, Aeliana is alive and well, posing as seventeen-year-old Ella Young in a small high school, the only survivor of the destruction of Pompeii. Alone, she carries the knowledge and guilt that her selfish choice-to flee the city with Cyprian and abandon her home to the mercy of the gods-resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent people. Until one night when Pretia returns to her and offers an impossible opportunity: travel back in time to Pompeii and prevent the eruption from ever happening. In a race against the clock, Ella is forced to revisit a home she never expected to see again, caught in the midst of a dilemma that ultimately pits love against fate. ** Now on Amazon and Kindle: https://goo.gl/gUO9aY **

After Pliny's mother and uncle died tragically following the eruption of the Vesuvius in 79 AD, he's been on his own. One day, as he is walking across the Forum, he bumps into the most famous author of the Roman Empire. It's Tacitus. Tacitus isn't someone you should argue with. He decides what goes down in history, with a single piece of writing, he could ruin your life. He loves the power he possesses and uses it in his advantage. He couldn't possibly be the kind of guy Pliny falls for, right? --------------------------------------------------------- He was walking across the Forum, head facing the cobble stones, when he bumped straight into someone. 'Mind your step,' he said angrily, not wanting to waste any more time. 'You're not supposed to talk to me like that,' an ice-cold voice said, sending shivers down his spine, 'do you have the slightest idea who you're talking to?' It was only at that moment I he looked up and his bright green eyes took him up and down. It was him. The most famous author that could kill your career with his pen.

Vesuvius isn't a volcano, he's human, and if he's also a member of the Italian Mafia, you may be in as much trouble as if he were one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes.

How can you love an outlaw? What risks do you assume for love? What hidden metaphor do people find in the merciless eruption of Italy's most famous volcano?
