The Queen -- In the wilds of Britannia, a fierce battle rages. Rhiannon, rightful ruler of the Celts, longs to see the invading Romans driven from her land. But when she's taken by the enemy, she can't deny her reaction to their compelling leader. His dark eyes promise endless nights of wicked delight, yet Rhiannon is haunted by an eerie feeling of recognition.

The Conqueror -- Having to look upon the ghost of his murdered brother is torture for Commander Lucius Aquila. But the strangely fascinating woman he's captured has the power to make the vision disappear. Lucius knows she can help him solve the mystery of Aulus's death, but he doesn't know Rhiannon's secret--the killers are her kinsmen, and the Druid curse that binds the dead man's soul will not be easily broken.
