One long look and I was brought down. She was in my blood...
Be careful how you uncover the past.
In the splendour and savagery of ancient Rome, Cassius, the greatest poet of his age, loses the only woman he ever loved. Two thousand yeas later, in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Antonia is driven to solve the riddle Cassius left behind. Her chance comes when she and her father, both archaeologists, excavate the sun-baked valley where Cassius lived and died.
This is the heartbreaking, heartwarming story of what Antonia found, and of all that followed. For Antonia there is a chance - one final chance - to undo the mistakes of the past, and to solve the age-old, all-pervading mystery that binds past and present together.
