Their descendants battle their way through history to the 21st century where they must find their own destiny and happiness while keeping their country safe.

They fight to preserve their way of life, to seek and find love and to do the right thing, just like us.A young Roman tribune is sent to a backwater in 370 AD for practising the wrong religion His lonely sixty-fifth descendant labours in the 1980s to reconstruct her country A Roma Novan imperial councillor attempts to stop the Norman invasion of England in 1066 Her 21st century Praetorian descendant flounders as she searches for her own identity and happiness.

Autor

Alison Morton writes award-winning thrillers featuring tough but compassionate heroines. Her ten-book Roma Nova series is set in an imaginary European country where a remnant of the Roman Empire has survived into the 21st century and is ruled by women who face conspiracy, revolution and heartache but use a sharp line in dialogue. The latest, EXSILIUM, plunges us back to the late 4th century, to the very foundation of Roma Nova. Six Roma Nova full-length novels have been awarded the BRAG Medallion. SUCCESSIO, AURELIA, INSURRECTIO and JULIA PRIMA have been selected as Historical Novel Society's Editors' Choices. AURELIA was a finalist in the HNS Indie Award. The Bookseller selected SUCCESSIO as Editor's Choice in its inaugural indie review. A 'Roman nut' since age 11, Alison has misspent decades clambering over Roman sites throughout Europe. She blends her fascination for Ancient Rome with six years' military service and a life of reading crime, historical and thriller fiction. On the way, she collected a BA in modern languages and an MA in history. She continues to blog about Romans and writing. Now she continues to write thrillers, cultivates a Roman herb garden and drinks wine in France with her husband.
