The Daughter of Rome
In Nero's Rome, a young woman connected to an artisan household must navigate a city where status, faith, and imperial favor can change without warning. Her work and family obligations bring her into contact with people whose loyalties place them at risk as suspicion grows around the followers of a new faith. Personal choices become dangerous political statements in a culture where survival can depend on appearing to belong. Hunt's biblical-era historical fiction blends Roman daily life, faith under pressure, family relationships, and the cost of choosing conviction over safety.
