Macedonia has fallen, and Greeks are now trapped in Rome…

This is the story of one girl's survival in the face of her vanishing world. A world whose mysteries she barely had time to understand.

Apollonia is the daughter of a Macedonian General. She has never known what it is like to lose her freedom- until the day the Romans invade her home. After seeing everything she loved lost, Apollonia is taken prisoner by the Romans and sold to a wealthy Tribune. She learns to work as a house slave and obey her master with only the memories of Greece's former glories to keep her company.

In ancient Greece, select young girls served as priestesses of Apollo, patron of light and prophecy. In Apollo's temples at Delphi, and elsewhere, these young girls delivered divine messages of the future- the oracles. In the early age of prophecy, these girls were known as Sibyls.

In seeking her own freedom, Apollonia discovers secrets of the Sibyls that will free all slaves from the horrors of bondage and give them a chance for a new life.

An historical thriller set in the tumultuous times of Rome's rise to global power, when the world was changing, when the sun was setting on the once great empire of Alexander bringing the gloom of a new age which we know now as the Dark Ages.
