Overview

A forbidden love. A brutal empire. A secret that history forgot. In first-century Rome, Tullia Flaccus lives a life of privilege as the daughter of a powerful senator. Intelligent and strong-willed, she is taught that slaves are property, rules are absolute, and obedience is everything. Yosef, a Judean boy enslaved by Roman conquest, is her household servant-and her childhood companion. But when adolescence awakens forbidden desire, their relationship collides with the hard boundaries of Roman law and class. Yosef follows a radical moral rule-to treat every person as equal before God-and refuses to submit to Tullia's most intimate command. His defiance cracks open her belief in the system that raised her. As Rome tightens its grip on both its citizens and its slaves, Tullia and Yosef are forced onto separate paths through political power, arranged marriage, cruelty, faith, and survival. Loving each other is dangerous. Being discovered could be fatal. Told through a rediscovered diary hidden for centuries beneath Rome, The Domina & The Slave is a sweeping work of historical fiction filled with: Forbidden romance Ancient Rome political and social life Slavery and moral conflict Faith and rebellion Archaeological mystery framing narrative A powerful cross-class love story Perfect for readers who enjoy emotional, character-driven historical novels set in the Roman Empire, with high stakes, rich detail, and unforgettable characters.
