Full synopsis

Iceni: The Year of Sacrifice is the first thrilling instalment in this historical trilogy.

60 AD. The death of Prasutagus, the Iceni king, leaves his kingdom divided between Rome and his daughters. The Roman Procurator Catus Decianus seizes the entire territory and brutalizes Boudica and her family.

Driven by vengeance, Boudica rallies the Iceni tribe and allies including the Trinovantes, Coritani, and Catuvellauni. As Roman forces are preoccupied in the north, Boudica's rebel army advances on Camulodunum, the Roman provincial capital, where a vastly outnumbered Roman defence struggles to hold.

With the fate of Roman Britannia hanging in the balance, the epic tale of sacrifice, rebellion, and fierce determination unfolds.

Here's what readers have to say about this book....

Carolyn Ashman

I enjoy reading about history and also, historic fiction. I was interested in reading this novel which is about Queen Boudica and the Iceni Revolt in early Roman Britain. Once I became familiar with the names of characters, place names and tribes, I was drawn into the story. I became absorbed in the book, and eventually could not put it down. I would be interested in reading any further novels in the series. A useful addition may have been an explanation of names and terms. Although this did not really affect my overall enjoyment of this book.
