Lavinia es destinada por el senado de Roma, a la edad de diez años, a servir en el templo de la diosa Vesta como una de las vírgenes vestales durante un periodo de treinta años, sin posibilidad de conocer el amor de un hombre. Un plan astuto del emperador Domiciano o, tal vez, simplemente la fuerza del destino, hará que su suerte cambie, y Marcus, un centurión romano que considera falsas y traicioneras a todas las mujeres, será el encargado de protegerla en su largo viaje a Britania. Será un viaje tan peligroso como fascinante.Mientras que Marcus solo cree en el honor, en el cumplimiento del deber y en la gloria de Roma, Lavinia está dispuesta a arrebatar su destino de las manos de los dioses, y hacer tambalear las convicciones del atractivo centurión.¿Podrá el corazón ganarle la batalla a la razón cuando tenga que escoger entre el amor y el honor? ¿Aceptará Lavinia el nuevo destino que le ofrecen los dioses y renunciará de nuevo al amor solo por la gloria de Roma?
