Tag is a slave to a trainer of gladiators. Trained as a medic he would rather be given the opportunity to fight as a gladiator and win his freedom. Lucia is the trainer's only daughter...only child remaining. She is pledged to be married to a much older man. In the weeks leading up to the destruction of Pompeii Lucia notices many strange things that portend of things to come and the two fall in love.
I love historical fiction so I choose this book from Netgalley because of my interest in the topic. Unfortunately it really didn't do much for me. Although well researched I found that I couldn't connect to the characters and that the tragic end didn't really bother me.
