In AD 75, Amara has escaped Felix’s brothel and lives in a luxurious Pompeian house as the freedwoman and dependent of her patron Rufus. Her surroundings have changed, but her safety still rests on the affection of a man whose family and social obligations may outweigh his promises to her.

Amara remains haunted by the women she left in the lupanar and by Felix, who refuses to accept the loss of control over her. Attempts to help her former companions pull her back into debt, secrecy and danger. Maintaining freedom requires Amara to use the same systems of money, sex and influence that once made her powerless.
