Livia, the free-spirited daughter of a Roman general and a Celtic mother, is kidnapped from her beloved Britain and sold into slavery in barbaric fifth century Eire.

An endearing heroine, Livia will make you laugh, cry, and bite your nails as she challenges oppression and matures into a courageous woman who speaks her mind with fervor and holds her head high.
