Product Information

It is a world of power and privilege, secrets and sacred duty. It is the world of ancient Rome. And it is the esteemed Vestal Virgins--priestesses of Vesta, goddess of the home and hearth--who protect the Eternal Flame that protects the Eternal City. Dedicated to a thirty-year vow of chaste service, Priestess Pomponia finds herself swept up in the intrigue, violence, wars, and bedroom politics of Rome's elite--Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Octavian and his maneuvering wife, Livia--all the while guarding the secret affection she has in her heart. But when a charge of incestum--a broken vow of chastity--is made against the Vestal order, the ultimate punishment looms: death by being buried alive in the "Evil Field." In Brides of Rome, Book One in the Vesta Shadows series, Debra May Macleod skillfully re-creates the world of ancient Rome with all its brutality and brilliance, all its rich history and even richer legend. A true page-turner that is as smart as it is compelling, this must-read novel brings the Vestal order to life like never before.

Reviews
Macleod gives readers a very rich picture of what the day-to-day life of the Vestal Virgins was like...as the book's lean, fast-paced plot advances. This is very intelligent and well-researched Roman historical fiction, populated with very strong female lead characters (including a scene-stealing rendition of Livia). A fine start to a promising series., A fascinating look inside the lives of the enigmatic Vestal Virgins of Rome, who tended the sacred flame of Vesta in her temple in the Forum. But they were at the heart of Roman politics as well, true 'brides of Rome' who had a ringside seat in events of Roman history, and had a hand in them as well. Macleod lets us enter their forbidden and mysterious lives in a page-turning story of the birth of the Roman empire, watching all the big names--Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Livia, Augustus--from an angle never seen before., A riveting imagined world ripped right from the pages of history, this smart repartee captivates in every way. It's atmospheric and tense, allowing the reader to easily conjure up what it must have been like to be a Roman vestal virgin. Well done., The Brides of Rome tells a familiar story of a harsh and brutal time, from an unfamiliar point of view...The mix of characters from pompous, spoiled, greedy and weak to brave, benevolent and honorable made for a real page-turner...A very enjoyable historical fiction., A fantastic book with excellent research done into the history of Rome...Those famous figures really came to life, as does everyday life in ancient Rome. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in historical fiction, and I look forward to the next book in the Vesta Shadows Series., The novel's attention to period detail and the mores and attitudes of the times make this a fascinating story of Roman life, told from a wholly new perspective., In an age of murderous warlords and ruthless politicians (often indistinguishable from one another) the seemingly benign Vestals could hold the balance of power. Debra May Macleod has written a fascinating mystery set within the relentlessly masculine world of Roman power politics, but seen through the lens of a unique, all-female institution. The Vestals did not just tend Rome's sacred flame. They guarded Rome's secrets.
