Vows of revenge are made

in the unforgiving world of ancient Rome, amid pirates, godfathers, and forbidden love.

 Trapped in an abusive marriage, Aelia Sabina does all she can to gratify her patrician husband Cassius Julius Gullus, but to no avail.

Martino Lucianus Drusus vows revenge against Cassius, the patrician who stole his family’s land and attempts to destroy the beautiful Aelia.

Lucianus saves Aelia from this fate worse than death and takes her to Amalfi where

“ you live by your heart…not by Rome’s laws.”

When Cassius discovers that Aelia lives and now loves the despicable Lucianus, he vows to finally destroy this plebe in Rome’s court where

patricians rule and plebeians grovel.  

But will he?
