Can a woman who thinks she's just a gardener save the world with a warrior who thinks he's a monster?

Ellen's idea of a crisis is root rot. She grows things — quietly, competently, in a biosphere where nothing tries to kill her and nobody expects her to be extraordinary. She's short, she's round, and she's made her peace with being the least remarkable person in any room.

Then a gladiator starts bleeding into her dreams.

Duke was Dacian before Rome turned him into arena entertainment. He fights, he kills, and he's fairly certain that's all he's good for. He does not need a nervous botanist and looking at him like he's something worth saving.

Too bad. Because a deranged Old Timer has dug up sixteen-thousand-year-old secrets and is building a plague to purify humanity — and Ellen's visions are the only thing pointing to the off switch. The cure is buried in a Roman temple. The lunatic is already inside. And the gladiator who thinks he's a monster is the only one willing to walk in with her.

Ellen didn't sign up to be brave. Duke didn't sign up to be gentle. Neither of them signed up for each other — but imminent extinction has a way of rearranging priorities.

A gardener with apocalyptic dreams. A gladiator with a conscience he can't kill. And a plague that needs both of them to be braver than they believe they can be.

Romance where love is the hardest choice — and the most necessary one.
