"Made for a very interesting read."
The Spartan warrior on a mission to uncover a plot.
Diokles is ordered to find and eliminate a threat to Sparta. The high priestess of Apollysis must remain a virgin for his mission to be achieved. With success at his fingertips, complications arise when his growing attraction toward her threatens to cloud his judgment. He must stay true to his goal...and his personal oath. Failure to do so is not an option. He will not risk losing his heart and honour again.
The priestess who fears, and yearns, to discover her past.
The only way Calliope can discover the truth of her identity is to wear the fabled coronet of Apollo - and in the process, jeopardise her life. Taken hostage by Diokles, her defiance leads to escape attempts until she realises she has gifted him her heart. This, together with her increasing suspicion of those who would stop her wearing the coronet at all costs, gives her the courage to risk her life in order to reclaim it.
Can fate, or love, unite these two strong-willed opponents...
... to reach the shrine where the coronet lies hidden before their mutual enemy overtakes them. One who will stop at nothing to kill Diokles and claim Calliope for himself.
