Boudicca. Infamous warrior, queen of the British Iceni tribe and mastermind of one of history’s greatest revolts. Her defeat spelled ruin for her people, yet still her name is enough to strike fear into Roman hearts.

The woman who has her mother’s looks and cunning but a spirit all of her own?
The woman whose desperate bid for survival will take her from Britain’s sacred marshlands to the glittering façades of Nero’s Roman Empire.
Born to a legend. Forced to fight. Determined to succeed.
Meet Solina.

From the book club meeting:
It was hard to read this book without comparing to Harper’s Wolf Den Trilogy, which anyone who has attended a meeting will know is much loved by our members. With such high expectations, it was difficult for this book to live up to them. Some members struggled to get into the story, particularly with so many confusing names to remember but also the early part of the book made for some uneasy reading. However this did get easier and once again Harper drew us in with her evocative descriptions and well researched text. I for one, was also a little disappointed that we didn’t see more of Britannica, one of our favourite characters from The Wolf Den who made an appearance in this novel.
Overall Boudicca’s Daughter averaged 3.25*
