She Wolf: Boudica's Legacy

She Wolf is an epic tale, set in 60-70AD Britannia, against the action-packed, blood-fuelled backdrop of the Boudican war and its aftermath. Filled with everything one would expect from this genre, She Wolf is a feast for the historical fiction enthusiast - particularly those with a penchant for this era (think Conn Iggulden, Manda Scott and Robert Harris) - looking for a tantalising storyline full of teenage warrior princesses, Roman Emperors, brave gladiators, amphitheatre games, slavery, legionaries, tribunes and mighty pitched battles. But it also has an underlying love story which binds this refreshing novel together - and this is its deepest and most profound attraction. Linona, daughter of Boudica, claws her way out of the darkest depths of despair - she sees the death, destruction, murder and devastation of her people and endures some of the most horrific experiences a woman could ever imagine. She redirects her anger and hatred and transforms into a victorious female gladiator. She becomes the She Wolf and a leader of her mother's Iceni Tribe - who have developed an equal rights culture for both women and men. Julius, a tribune who works his way through the Roman ranks to become a general, falls in love with Linona. But their love is dangerous, their loyalties conflicting and it seems that their relationship is too complicated (and life-threatening) to ever overcome the obstacles their hearts are yearning for. Gripping from the outset this is a multi-genre love story of epic proportions, a powerful snapshot of bloodthirsty combat and an insight into corruption and the flaky characters that head the powerful Roman Empire.
