About this audiobook
In the shadows of ancient Rome, a forbidden language is spoken. Nundina Ardenta is only ten years old when her father begins teaching her the secrets of Névhasharí—a hidden magical tongue capable of bending memory, blood, and reality itself. But Rome fears what it cannot control. Hunted as heretics and sorcerers, Nundina’s family is torn apart by the empire’s cruelty, forcing her into a life of slavery, survival, and silence. As years pass beneath the brutal weight of Rome, Nundina hides among the forgotten—studying her father’s forbidden grimoire in secret while mastering powers the empire believed buried forever. What begins as a young girl’s struggle to survive slowly transforms into something far more dangerous: the rise of a force shaped by grief, patience, and vengeance. Before she became legend... Before the galaxy feared her name... Before the Crimson Empire... She was simply a girl Rome failed to kill. Blood is memory. Magic is truth. Vengeance is eternal.
