Acclaimed British author and ancient Rome nerd Elodie Harper has turned her attention to Boudicca and her daughters in her latest novel.

She traces the story of the women who grew up in the shadow of the infamous warrior, Boudicca - queen of the British Iceni tribe and mastermind of one of history's greatest revolts. 

Elodie is credited as one of the most important writers of historical fiction today, well known for the Wolf Den Trilogy set in ancient Pompeii - and in this novel, Boudicca's Daughter, Harper takes us into the heart of Nero's Roman empire.
