About This Book
Destined to take his father's place as leader of their werewolf pack in Wyoming, Howard Lupus accepts his father's demand that he go on a rite of passage to learn more about his heritage. Combing through dusty museum archives and old Roman ruins in Verona, Italy, is not his idea of a fun summer. Fortunately, he has the help of Marina D'Antuono, a cute but clumsy museum attendant with a passion for history. Together, they begin to uncover the story of his elusive gladiator ancestor.
In the year 69 AD, Decimus Rocius Lupus has no way of understanding the hideous truth about himself. A man cursed to share his body with the spirit of a beast, Decimus is impressed into the Roman army, captured as a traitor to the empire, then forced to perform in the Roman colosseum. As a gladiator, he has no choice. He must kill or be killed. The beast within him wins the battles, but eats away at his soul.
As Howard and Marina trace his ancestor's past, Howard fears losing control, just like Decimus. Can a woman like Marina ever come to accept the beast of Verona?
