Mia was best friends with Attius until she was 'chosen' at six years old to serve a 30-year term as a Vestal Virgin. This isn't something she wants, as she wants to be like Diana, the Huntress. Being demure doesn't come easily to her. Attius follows his own path, which leads him to the Roman infantry, fighting under General Paullus.
After the defeat at Cannae, the Romans were desperate to blame someone. General Varro has done what he can to blame the now-deceased General Paullus, but they need something else. Something for the Roman people to get behind. They need a sacrifice.
Through the 'current' time and a series of flashbacks, we see Mia grow into her role, and the political machinations that lead to her being accused. While she didn't want to be a Vestal Virgin, she also wasn't prepared to take any chances; although she could be persuaded to bend the rules, as with Prisca. While history has recorded a different ending for Opimia, I loved the version in this book!
There is an amazing supporting cast of characters, from Floronia and Prisca, to the Virgo Maxima, Lucius Cantilius, and Cornelius Lentulus. One of my favourite characters (and places) was the Sibyl of Cumae. I thought she raised some interesting points, and the commune was fantastic.
The research for this book is in-depth and fascinating, so please ensure you read the Author's Note and the Historical Notes. I also read them simply because I wasn't ready for the story to end. This was an outstanding read that held my attention from beginning to end. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me.
