The Light Bearer

A Goth, her name was Auriane. She was a warrior, a priestess – and a threat to the powers of Rome.

By Donna Gillespie

“Germanic Auriane is a combination of the noble, natural savage, and the heroine marked from birth for great deeds. Roman Marcus Julianus is the personification of the highest civilized, republican Roman values. Both are typical and atypical of their societies, fighting for what each believes to be just”. – Amazon.com
