Desire in the Shadow of Rome: Gay Romance

Sven, a proud young Teuton, is violently torn from his homeland by the Romans, robbed of his freedom and sent to the merciless arenas of Rome. At the very moment when he thought he had found his true love in Baldger, a young man from the neighbouring tribe. The longing for his homeland and the pain of losing his family and his best friend drive him to survive amidst the dust and blood of battle. But the hope of freedom seems distant - until one day he meets the young nobleman Titus. Titus, rich and mysterious, draws Sven into a world of opulence and seduction. Life in the magnificent estate, the scents of the exotic gardens, the tender touches that never seem entirely coincidental make Sven waver. Is Titus perhaps more than just a gentleman who wants to rule over him? Can Sven trust him - or should he try to find a way to escape back home and his friend before he finally loses himself in the golden shackles of Rome and Titus' erotic games? Accompany Sven on his journey and find out whether he can escape the shadow of mighty Rome - or whether fate has its own plans for him... Caution: This book contains clear depictions of homoerotic love.
