You have always lived the kind of life people in Rome whisper about. Your family name opens doors before you even knock. Your house is one of those beautiful old Roman villas hidden behind tall gates, your closet is filled with designer clothes, and everyone assumes your life must be perfect.
In Ancient Rome it was normal for powerful people such as kings or emperorâs to have concubines- men or women, but if a man was the bottom in the concubine relationship, they were seen as weak.
In the heart of Romeâs most exclusive neighborhood, sixteen-year-old exile finds herself caught between a mother desperate to forget the past and a city that feels like a tomb. After the loss of her father, her only anchor, she is thrust into a world of high-fashion facades and elite private schools where she refuses to fit in. Her path collides with Damiano, a cynical classmate with a dangerous double life, sparking a volatile rivalry fueled by mutual disdain. But as the shadows of the "Eternal City" pull them together, they discover that their shared brokenness is the only thing that feels real, turning a bitter feud into a reckless, high-stakes romance.
