In the Shadow of Vesuvius

Mount Vesuvius has awakened. Mira, a fifteen-year-old slave, saw the coming burial of Herculaneum and the death of its people in a vision. To fulfil a vow, and save the life of the Roman child in her care, she must escape her stubborn owner, and the slave set to watch her. Mira must convince her guard to let her slip away, or to flee with her. If she cannot, all three will share the fate of the town when the volcano sends its fiery death raging down the mountain.
