Book 2 of The Fire That Binds

Set in an alternate ancient Rome ruled by dragons, this dark romantasy follows Lela, a young witch with the rare power to control men through a taste of their blood, after she is sold into slavery following the destruction of her village. Her path crosses with Trajan, a newly elected Roman tribune who treats her with unexpected respect, and the two are drawn into a tense, dangerous alliance as Lela fights to reclaim her freedom and her power. The book is the second installment in the trilogy that began with Firebird, following a new couple while continuing the larger fight against a tyrannical Caesar.
