Page Length: 328
Genre: Historical Fiction

A hollow triumph. A fruitless search. Complete fulfilment is too elusive.

AD 84 Caledonia. Seeking the spoils of war…

Enya searches for the young Garrigill warriors not seen since the battle between the Caledonian Allies and the mighty legions of Rome. Should Enya choose the trail that might lead northwards to her brother? Or should she seek definite proof that her cousin has been taken captive by the Romans?

Nith goes with Enya on her perilous mission. Along the way, what has always been a foster-brother concern turns to feelings much more profound, but does she love him…or another warrior?

General Agricola’s burning desire for a successful Roman Empire Invasion means conquering the whole island of Britannia. However, the valuable spoils of war, and a healthy slave count, are hard to come by. A deeply superstitious man, Agricola believes his goddess Fortuna has abandoned him –his emperor likewise.

Who gains success and satisfaction? Is it Agricola…or Enya and Nith?

The adventures of the Garrigill Clan continue…

Nancy Jardine lives in the spectacular ‘Castle Country’ of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Her main writing focus has, to date, been historical and time travel fiction set in Roman Britain, though she’s also published contemporary mystery novels with genealogy plots. If not writing, researching (an unending obsession), reading or gardening, her young grandchildren will probably be entertaining her, or she’ll be binge-watching historical films and series made for TV. 

She loves signing/ selling her novels at local events and gives author presentations locally across Aberdeenshire. These are generally about her novels or with a focus on Ancient Roman Scotland, presented to groups large and small. Zoom sessions have been an entertaining alternative to presenting face-to-face events during, and since, the Covid 19 pandemic restrictions.

Current memberships are with the Historical Novel Society; Scottish Association of Writers; Federation of Writers Scotland, Romantic Novelists Association and the Alliance of Independent Authors. She’s self-published with the author co-operative Ocelot Press.
