Set in Ancient Rome, Fire in the Frontier begins with an epic ambush upon a Roman village by local Germanic tribes. During this attack, a young infant, Marcus, is saved by his uncle and adopted by a Roman couple to raise.
While his life in Rome is peaceful as a soldier, his vindictiveness against the tribe who are responsible for his biological parents' deaths continues to fester. He eventually meets and becomes enamored with Helena, another soul tortured with the temptation of revenge. Helena's life is split in two—in the morning, she's an abused and neglected daughter; in the evening, she becomes Maxima, a famed gladiator with incredible talent. The infatuation between Helena and Marcus is immediate and effervescent, but their quest for revenge may be more costly than they realized.
The Roman empire feels alive and bustling as you read through Marcus's adventures and interactions. Discussions among the characters sound realistic and are always relevant to each person. In one instance, Rakan is passionately discussing the lack of children's rights to Augustus; the clothes, food, and general countenance of ancient Rome are incredibly detailed, giving the reader an opportunity to step inside and understand Marcus's world.
