Flame of the Oracle
By D. Amon Hume
Rome believes it understands power... until a girl carrying an ancient flame steps into its heart.
Albina arrives from the eastern edge of the known world bearing a lineage older than the Republic itself. Chosen as priestess of a forgotten goddess, she carries ritual, knowledge, dancing skills, and a quiet authority Rome has no language for. What begins as curiosity quickly becomes disruption, drawing the attention of soldiers, statesmen, and women who recognize that something deeper than politics has entered the city.
Rufus, raised in discipline and shaped by duty, encounters Albina at the moment his life begins to diverge from the path laid before him. Fulvia, perceptive and ambitious, understands before others that influence rarely announces itself... it accumulates. Around them, alliances shift, loyalties are tested, and private decisions ripple outward into public consequence.
Set against the final decades of the Roman Republic, Flame of the Oracle explores the tension between empire and belief, power and identity, devotion and ambition. Ritual and strategy move side by side as characters navigate love, responsibility, and the unseen forces shaping their futures.
Blending historical realism with a mythic atmosphere, the novel presents a world where personal choices carry political weight, and ancient traditions persist beneath Rome's expanding authority. The story unfolds through intimate moments as much as public events, revealing how influence is formed long before it is recognized.
Flame of the Oracle begins a sweeping narrative of legacy, transformation, and the individuals who alter history without fully intending to, those who carry fire into places that believe themselves already illuminated.
