Description

Brimming with romance and adventure, Shadows in the Ashes is a gripping dual-time novel that spans centuries. Christina Courtenay's vivid historical detail brings to life two very different eras, as the stories unfold and reveal how themes of life and love remain timeless.

Present day and ancient Pompeii are intertwined in this fast-paced and thrilling tale. Caterina Rossi, fleeing an abusive marriage, finds herself drawn to research scientist Connor, who needs her translation help for his work on volcanology. As they visit the ruins of Pompeii, Cat begins to see startling visions that appear to come from an antique bracelet handed down through her family's generations.

Meanwhile, in ancient Roman Pompeii, Raedwald dreams only of surviving each fight as a gladiator, until he is hired to guard beautiful Aemilia. As their forbidden love grows, Raedwald's dreams shift like the violent tremors beneath his feet, and Cat must fight to protect her safety and forge a new path from the ashes of her old life.
