When Air Force pilot Aurora Durant's jet is struck by lightning, she brings the crippled bird down in an empty, windswept desert. Relieved that she's still alive, she hauls her injured copilot from the wreckage just as a heavily armed patrol appears - on horseback, wearing ancient armor right out of some hyperactive teenager's video game. Stunned, Aurora soon realize she's landed in the 2d century BC.

But before Lucius can claim the impertinent, willful creature, he has to tame her. Not an easy task, even for a commander whose word is absolute law among his troops. But then.... The flame haired female who insists she, too, is a skilled warrior, is like no other warrior Lucius has ever encountered.
