Boudica’s Shadow by Sam F. Hutchins

 

Today, I’m delighted to shine a light on Boudica’s Shadow, a brilliant novel by Sam F. Hutchins that reimagines one of Britain’s most iconic heroines.

✔ Set during Boudica’s rebellion in 61 AD

✔ Two sisters, divided by duty and vengeance

✔ A fierce female-led story

✔ A hunt for lost Iceni gold

✔ A Roman officer torn between duty and conscience

✔ Packed with conflict, rebellion, and bloodshed

Check out the blurb:

61AD.

After Keara and her sister, Caitlyn, are brutally attacked by Roman officers in their own home, their mother's rage knows no bounds. Queen Boudica of the Iceni raises an army of oppressed Britons who will defy Rome.

During the conflict, the two sisters are faced with the same difficult choices - but they will pursue very different paths.

Caitlyn will stay and protect her people. Keara will search for the missing Iceni gold - and the man responsible for the attack on her tribe.

It is the Mauritanian Roman tribune, Titus, who finds himself caught up in the Britannic rebellion as he battles across tribal lands to capture Keara. But will the officer follow orders when he finally confronts the Iceni princess?

Rome will be defied. There will be blood.
