Keeper of the Flames (Daughter of Destiny)

My name is Jenna Solitaire and everything I thought I knew about myself, my family, and my future is wrong. My life is not my own. It never has been. I just didn't know it―until now...

From the searing desert of the Middle East, Jenna and Simon travel to the ancient city of Pompeii, following the clues to the hiding place of the Board of Fire--also known as the Board of the Flames.

But Peraud is hot on their trail, and is more determined than ever to claim the two Boards that the Keeper already possesses. Jenna must also contend with her growing attraction to Simon, who is torn by his desire for her-and his sacred duty to the Church.
