Summary
Set in Iron-Age Britain, the first novel in a magnificent new series recounting the life of Boudica, Britain’s first warrior queen.
In AD 60, Boudica, war leader of the Eceni, led her people in a final bloody revolt against the occupying armies of Rome. It was the culmination of nearly twenty years of resistance against an occupying force that sought to crush a vibrant, complex civilization and replace it with the laws, taxes and slavery of the Roman Empire.

AuelAn extraordinary work … exciting and intriguing, taking you into a world where unbelievable danger and cruelty sit side by side with magic, spirituality and profound human relationships – Jenni MurrayUtterly convincing and compelling … A stunning feat of the imagination and an absolute must-read – Steven Pressfield
