Official synopsis Publisher
The story of Boudicca, the notorious warrior queen who led a legendary rebellion in 60 CE against the Roman Empire in Britain. This book by acclaimed Wolf Den Trilogy author Elodie Harper follows Boudicca’s meteoric rise and devastating fall through the eyes of her youngest daughter, Solina, who seeks revenge against Rome.
Boudicca–infamous warrior, queen of the British Iceni tribe, and mastermind of one of history’s greatest revolts. Her defeat spelled ruin for her people, yet still her name is enough to strike fear into Roman hearts.
But what of the woman who grew up in her shadow? The woman who has her mother’s looks and cunning and her father’s druidic gifts, but a spirit all of her own? The woman whose desperate bid for survival will take her from Britain’s sacred marshlands to the glittering facades of Nero’s Roman Empire . . .
The narrative arc and emotional heart of the book is Solina’s complex relationship with Rome, and what resistance means in the radically different world she finds herself in after her mother’s fall. After she is taken to the Empire’s capital by the ruthless Roman general Paulinus, she will have to decide what it truly means to be Boudicca’s daughter.
Forced to fight. Determined to succeed. Meet Solina. Boudicca’s daughter.
