Description
Neither Iceni, nor truly Roman, 16-year-old Victoria flees an arranged marriage, settling with Iceni cousins only to be caught up in Boudicca's revolt. Torn between saving her family in London or fighting alongside her new friends, she finds herself abandoned and alone, battling now for survival.
