When Minna's true love Theo leaves the lonely fort of Othona for the big city, Minna cannot bear to be left behind and steals away on her beloved pony, Silva, to follow him. But, she has no idea that her actions will condemn Theo to fight a deadly duel - with her life as the prize.

REVIEW

An exciting tale about a brave Roman servant girl, Minna, and her love for a courageous army commander, Theodosius, sparking a chain of deadly events from which there is no turning back.

I enjoyed this book but found it hard to get into and it took me ages to read. When I got into it, however, I could not put it down! This book is literally unputdownable!
