Romans in Britain!

The Wall (City of Victory #3) by Adrian Goldsworthy   

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What’s not to like. Times of historical fact and legend, of old gods and magic. Amazing research and knowledge of the era is demonstrated by Goldsworthy. All turned into a narrative that had you sure you were there, crouching in the dark, patient and still. Thrown back into a time when the air might have been fresher, but the dangers are many. This novel takes place as the Wall is being built, centred around Roman Centurion Flavius Ferox and his wife Claudia Enica, granddaughter of Cartimandua, would be Queen, although not yet recognised. The intricacies of the characters and tribal groups is complex as are the plots for supremacy being woven. A thing of gods or man?

Hadrian’s coming to power and his subsequent actions placed their stamp on Britain. And the Wall is just beginning—a mighty witness to Rome’s might then, and today of powers rising and falling.

A subtle yet searing novel filled with plots and treachery.
