Description
Boudicca's world is one of turmoil and oppression. In 48 A.D., her father's allegiance to the Roman Empire has brought a fragile peace, but for Boudicca and her lover Tallus, it means living in constant fear of their people's culture being erased. When Tallus attempts a revolt, he is captured and executed, leaving Boudicca's father dethroned. Her own life becomes a pawn in the imperial power game, until she loses everything: her land, her freedom, and even her daughters to the brutal hands of Roman soldiers. The loss sets off an anguished woman, driven by a fierce determination to avenge her family and save her people from extinction. This novel tells Boudicca's story in her own voice, breaking the silence history has imposed on her. It is a thrilling and intimate journey through love, loss, and rebellion, bringing the legendary heroine to vivid life.
