The resounding success of the universally - documented Roman Forum construction project has changed Adam and Tyra's lives for ever but their true voyage of inner discovery is only just beginning. In the wake of that unexpected but monumental enlightenment amid the ruined and deserted backstreets of the Via Claudia, it seems life has resumed a semblance of normality once more.


As the leaves begin to fall and the days grow noticeably colder and shorter with the imminent onset of another winter, all appears well in their fine country house where the flickering candle flames and blazing log fires bring warmth and comfort on the chill evenings.
