Another great historical thriller from Tanya Landman. Great sense of time and place, this is set in Roman Britain around Hadrian’s Wall. For all history lovers.

I planned to gave a three to this book until the last pages but I'm so disappointed with this open end... So many unanswered questions...

I loved this book. I thought it was really well-paced, with lovely characters and location descriptions. One of my favourite classical novels for younger audiences - a good level of historical detail and accuracy but not to the point of being pernickety or dull. Recommended to me by a student of mine and I can't wait to tell her how much I thoroughly enjoyed it!
