A fast-paced novel of political intrigue and rebellion set in Londinium (Roman London) in the year 125. When her father – a Roman magistrate – is murdered, Vita ends up disguised as a slave at the gladiator’s arena. There she meets Brea, a fierce gladiatrix with a very different view on the Roman occupation. Vita is determined to find out who killed her father, and discovers that she and Brea have a dangerous enemy in common. Gripping and well-researched historical fiction that vividly brings the past to life.
