Synopsis

"A high-gauge stainless steel needle was not the way I thought I would die."

About to be terminated by a Berlin gangster working for her lifelong nemesis, ex-Praetorian Aurelia Mitela must draw on every ounce of courage and ingenuity inherited from her Roman ancestors to survive.

Intensely loyal to her beloved country of Roma Nova, a phoenix from the ashes of the ancient Roman Empire, Aurelia’s criminal investigation into the theft of Roma Nova’s vital national asset – silver – has not only led her to Berlin, but also trapped her in a web of heartbreak and danger. Then her enemy reaches into the heart of her family.

Aurelia must choose what or who to save. Where does her ultimate loyalty lie? Her country? Her young daughter? Or her love?

Set in the late 1960s, AURELIA is the first of the Aurelia Mitela adventures – Roman fiction brought into the 20th century through an alternative history lens. INSURRECTIO, NEXUS (novella) and RETALIO follow on.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

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.
