Amata: Book Three in The First Vestals of Rome Trilogy by Debra May Macleod

AMATA – Book Three in The First Vestals of Rome trilogy The gripping, unsparing tale of Amata, the first true Vestal Virgin of Rome, whose choices would shape the Vestal Order for centuries to come. It is 716 BCE, over thirty years since the founding of Rome. The city’s war-like nature has made it the “tyrant of Latium,” and King Romulus’s hardened nature has caused the fledgling Vestal order to fall into disrepute. But as crisis strikes and an enigmatic newcomer named Numa arrives in the city, Romulus’s only living kinswoman, Amata, must rise to restore the dignity of the order. AMATA is the riveting conclusion to The First Vestals of Rome, an epic trilogy about the founding Vestal Virgins of ancient Rome. About The First Vestals of Rome trilogy Read more
