In 406 BC, to seal a tenuous truce, the young Roman Caecilia is wedded to Vel Mastarna, an Etruscan nobleman from Veii. Departing her militaristic homeland, Caecilia is set to stay true to Roman virtues while living among the list of sinful Etruscans. But, despite her best motives, she actually is seduced by a culture that offers women education, independence, sexual freedom, and an empowering faith. Enchanted by Veii but terrified of getting rid of ties to Rome, Caecilia carries out rites to wait becoming a mother, thus postponing true entanglement. Yet as she develops an urgent love for Mastarna, she's torn between her birthplace and the location where she now lives. As war looms, Caecilia discovers Destiny is not easy to control, and she must choose where her allegiance lays. The Wedding Shroud is the first booklet in the series AN ACCOUNT of Ancient Rome. Subsequent catalogs in the series include The Golden Dice and Call to Juno.
