The emperor's virgin

a novel

de Sylvia Fraser · Publicada por primera vez en 1980

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.
