Domitia is a work of historical fiction based on the life of Domitia Longina, an important if little-known figure in Rome’s history, and recounts the later days of the Roman Empire and the spreading influence of Christianity.
The daughter of a Roman general stationed in Corinth, Greece, Domitia leaves behind their palace in Rome to join him upon his marriage to the lady Dulia Longa. However, shortly after her arrival, tragedy strikes: her father is found dead of apparent suicide. Domitia is outraged and horrified to learn that he has done so at the command of Emperor Nero, and vows to take revenge. In the years that follow, she must learn to deftly navigate political trials, romantic entanglements, and a strange new religion.
