    Summary

    Corinth, 89 CE. Rhoebe Benetos is sold into marriage to Naxios Iacobus—second son of a powerful Roman family—as a political solution to save her mother and sister from ruin. Once a free Greek girl with Kushite and Greek roots, she becomes the quiet wife on occupied land, watched by Roman guards and stripped of her rituals. But Naxios, cold and exacting, does not strike her. He preserves her. Polishes her. Possesses her. And in return, she begins to haunt him.
    Set against a backdrop of olive groves, gods in exile, and a household divided by legacy and ambition, IN THE HOUSE OF JUPITER, SHE DREAMS OF DEMETER is a dark romance born from silence, power, and slow undoing.
