She-Wolf (She-Wolf Book 1) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781786957061)

Xara had never heard of Rome until the legion invaded her village and killed her parents. She knew about slaves of course, but her people took just a few slaves and made them part of their village; the Romans took thousands of slaves and treated them like animals, pets...like possessions. When the legion's commander noticed her and tried to take her, she rebelled and escaped, only to be recaptured during the battle of Wolf's Glen. Once again in captivity, she met a different kind of Roman-a warrior with values much like hers. He treats her the same as the other Romans did, but she respects him and in the confusion of war, helps save him from the Picts (predecessors of the Scots). Their continuing story is based on the novel "The Roman's Woman."
