My husband picked this book out for me for Christmas. He has NEVER picked out a book for me, and he picked a GREAT one! Points!!!
Perfect historical fiction during the Roman invasion of Britain. We are talking Iceni tribes and warriors and emperors and battles. The year is 60 CE, and the King of the Brits, who claimed loyalty to Rome to hold peace in his land, has died. His wife, daughter of the Chief of the Iceni warriors, goes on a campaign to free her people from Rome and loses, but earns respect along the way. This book is the story of her daughter Solina. Part Druid, part warrior, Solina takes a risky path to survival. Harper brings humanity to a very rough time, especially for women, who are mostly considered toys when not overlooked. Solina is different, speaks her mind, and must learn how to hide her true self from all but her most sworn enemy. For the fans of Circe, The Lost Queen, or anything about Merlin and King Arthur! I didn't want it to end.
