Camilla runs with the nymphs and hunts better than most men. She is nearly invincible in the battlefield, and it seems she cannot miss with either arrow or spear. Raised in the woods by her father, only her great beauty sets her apart from the men she fights beside.
Camilla's fate, like her father's, is bound in the quest for glory. She can remain home, companion to the goddess Diana, or seek to become part of a legend.
What will Camilla choose?
Based on the story of Camilla from Books VII and XI of Vergil's
Aeneid
, this novella is written for intermediate readers of Latin.
This second edition includes the addition of macrons, an index of all word forms, and more so that readers can enjoy Camilla's story on their own or in a class.
