Apia Populus is about to lose her mother. Despite her young age, according to the prevailing custom, she must marry Salvio Sexto, a prosperous elderly pearl merchant.

On Palatine Hill, the most exclusive neighbourhood in Rome, the young woman will need to develop a thick skin to put up with life with someone she doesn't love, meet her obligations as the lady of the house and defend her home from political intrigue. Her only support is her faithful slave Furnilla. Together, they forge an unbreakable alliance and will fight to make their way in a hostile world. Narrated across two time periods, this novel is a tale of passion, violence and resilience set against the backdrop of the rise of imperial Rome.
