Rezensionen

I was bereft when the Wolf Den trilogy ended, but with her hotly anticipated new standalone, Boudicca's Daughter, Elodie has surpassed herself. A beautiful, breathtaking novel about what it takes to survive in the shadow of legend, Boudicca's Daughter is a furious page-turner, a raw, emotional journey, and a profound meditation on family and legacy. I loved this novel - pre-order it immediately!

Magnificent... Harper evokes ancient Rome with a classicist's authority and a storyteller's pace and intrigue.
