Imagine if you will, ancient Rome and being a young girl married off to a full-blown narcissist and told it was her responsibility to please him. This was Aelia Sabina’s dilemma. And yes, this task was impossible. Yet she survived. Even at its worst…she fought to survive.
These struggles are usually assisted by someone who cares enough to help. And I say usually. But in Aelia’s case, it was Lucianus who adored her and came to her rescue. Even against the hierarchy of Rome, he was there for her, wanting to heal her with his heart.
However, the choice to heal was Aelia’s. This healing journey is not for the weak. It never is. However, as Aelia and Lucianus found out , it is worth the fight. There can be a future of happiness and true love.
