The Viper Amulet: The Sequel to Rubies of the Viper - Paperback
by Martha Marks (Author)
The sequel to RUBIES OF THE VIPER... AD 56 - Disgraced, impoverished, and physically impaired, Theodosia Varro flees Italia with the man she loves. With Emperor Nero's agents in pursuit, they escape to a place that should offer safety and peace, only to find an unexpected foe waiting. Conflicts mount as Theodosia battles known and unknown enemies who put her life and family at risk. Ultimately, she ventures into a foreign land whose culture she does not understand-and into a brutal war zone-to salvage what remains of her dreams.

MARTHA MARKS has won two gold medals and one silver medal in international book contests and is the author of two top-sellers in their categories on Amazon.When Martha was seven, she traveled with her parents to Italy, where the ruins of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Roman Forum made an indelible impression on her. As they walked the streets of Pompeii, she informed her parents that she had been there before. It was all entirely familiar. You'll find photos of her during that first visit to Pompeii on her website: marthamarks.com. As a teenager, she devoured every available novel about ancient Rome. As an adult, she read newer fiction set in that time, returned to the same ancient sites and visited others, and studied ancient history and cultures. Rubies of the Viper, its sequel, The Viper Amulet, and her work-in-progress, The Ruby Ring, are the results of a fascination for ancient history that began on that childhood trip to Italy. Years later, she earned a Ph.D. at Northwestern University and taught on the faculties of Northwestern University and Kalamazoo College. She and her husband, fine-art painter Bernard Marks, live in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
