At the center stood a tall, striking woman who instantly drew the eye.
Her hair was a cascade of pale gold, tied into elegant braids that draped over her shoulders like threads of sunlight. Her eyes, a piercing sky-blue, burned with defiance and outrage. She wore a regal tunic of foreign make, trimmed with gold and embroidered with beautiful patterns that spoke of distant lands.
She was not Roman.
And that was obvious at a glance.
She was Elin Berg, one of the Heroes summoned by the Amun-Ra Empire.
