Description
Azaleas father left to fight for the growing empire of Rome when she was just 8 summers old. As any little girl would, she missed him and waited desperately for her hero to come riding back on his white stallion. Every night she would sit at her window and wait, but as the years went by the nights grew longer and the memories faded. Soon he was her past, a bleak picture of authority that no longer held any power over her. Now at the age of 17 Azalea is the fresh ocean breeze in the village, whit a laughter worth gold and looks to match, she brings a smile even to the most miserable of people. But no matter how much the people loved this wild beauty they knew she acted improper and they feared the day when her father would return. What will he do to her? What will he bring? What is his plan? Can this Roman flower grow in the shadows?
