Boudicca: A Novel – An Epic Romantasy of Magic, Rebellion, Prophecy, and Betrayal in Celtic Britain Against Rome

In Roman-occupied Britain, the Iceni tribe crowns Boudicca, a tall, flame-haired queen devoted to Andraste, the Iceni's patron goddess from Celtic mythology. When Roman tax collector Catus Decianus attacks the tribe's stronghold, Boudicca and her two daughters survive but refuse to submit. She assembles her most trusted allies—Rhan, a childhood friend and powerful Druid seer, and Maldwyn, the horse master whose devotion runs deeper than duty. Boudicca's armies surprise the Romans by sacking the wealthy cities of Camulodunum, Londinium, and Veralamium. As winter arrives, the Celts retreat to a hidden valley to plan their rebellion against Rome's remaining legions. However, the Druid Rhan foresees a tragic end to Boudicca's campaign in the signs sent by the gods. Determined to alter this fate, Rhan swears to save her queen. Boudicca must now trust in the powers of the otherworld to protect herself from both traitors within her ranks and Rome's mighty legions. This historical fantasy and mythic retelling draws inspiration from the rich history of Boudicca's attack on Roman Britain.
