Synopsis

THE MARBLE SPLENDOR OF IMPERIAL ROME WAS A STAGE FOR THE EMPEROR'S SAVAGE BLOOD LUST.His word was law. No one was beyond the reach of his depraved desires. Except Cornelia, the Vestal Virgin. Keeper of the sacred temple. Pure. Untouchable. Until her chaste beauty captured the heart of the noble commander Marcus, drawing her into a forbidden love...ensnaring them in the intrigue and degradation of the Emperor's household...plunging them into a mire of madness and perversity where escape could only be bought at an unthinkable price.

About this title

About the Author

Sylvia Fraser was born in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1935. Upon graduation from the University of Western Ontario in 1957, she embarked on a career in journalism, winning two Women’s Press Club Awards and, in 1969, the University of Western Ontario President’s Medal for journalism.

With the publication of Pandora in 1972, Fraser began her career as a fiction writer. Her novels, some set in contemporary times, others set in historical eras, study the remarkable ability of human beings to inflict harm on one another and their equally remarkable but rarer ability to heal and even to save one another.

In My Father’s House: A Memoir of Incest and of Healing, Fraser explores and explains the pain of her own childhood.

Sylvia Fraser resides in Toronto, Ontario.
