The nightmares began in my childhood…
Since then, they have grown stronger. Horrific dreams of blood and death, of dark specters and betrayal haunt me.
Mother wants me to become a seer in the temple of Minerva. I would much rather marry the dashing military commander, Pilate, instead. Every auger that sees me, fears me. They know, as I do, that something is different about me, something I cannot control, and that will haunt me until a Jewish messiah takes my hand in Judea.
Not even he can save me from what lies ahead in Rome, nor, I fear, can he save Pilate from a choice that will change the course of history forever.
My name is Claudia, and this is my story.
