Prelude to Fate

For Lucia, staring into the jaws of an horrific death, escape seems impossible. Rufius Atellus, a veteran Roman soldier, is appalled when he recognises one of the victims about to be executed. Surely this is a ghastly mistake? A ferocious she-wolf, anticipating a tasty meal, suddenly finds herself under a human's control. In an unexpected twist, and as danger threatens, the lives of all three become inextricably entwined. Was it chance brought them together in that theatre of bloodshed, or simply a prelude to fate? Author's Note: This is a stand-alone book, however, there is a loose connection to the Hannah's Heirloom Sequence.
