I was bereft when the Wolf Den trilogy ended, but with her hotly anticipated new standalone, Boudicca's Daughter, Elodie has surpassed herself. A beautiful, breathtaking novel about what it takes to survive in the shadow of legend, Boudicca's Daughter is a furious page-turner, a raw, emotional journey, and a profound meditation on family and legacy. I loved this novel – pre-order it immediately!

Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne

Elodie Harper continues her legacy of writing powerful, complex women with the story of Solina, daughter of history's favourite heroine Boudicca. What struck me most about this story is the precision to detail, along with the lyricism which brought such rich depictions to life. There is a deeply introspective nature in Harper's exploration of antiquity, in particular in her writing of relationships between men and women, oppressors and the oppressed. Without a doubt, Harper is one of the most important writers working in historical fiction today and we are all richer for the existence of her work.

'I am trying to find words to express how much I adored BOUDICCA'S DAUGHTER. Elodie Harper is the most magnificent writer and this is her best book yet. Immersive, captivating, heart-breaking, BOUDICCA'S DAUGHTER is brilliantly propulsive, bringing ancient Britain and crumbling Rome to roaring life. Solina is the most brilliantly, fiercely wonderful woman. I loved watching her grow and change, and the way Elodie is able to let contradictory feelings and urges sit side by side: her characters are so wonderfully real and fully realised. This is certainly my book of the year.

Caroline Lea, author of The Glass Woman

Boudicca's Daughter is Elodie Harper's masterpiece. A story of the infamous rebellion led by the British queen and its aftermath, it is narrated from the perspectives of the women who suffered, then made the Roman empire bleed. From the forests of Roman Britain to the glittering palaces of the empire's capital, the novel is a shocking reflection on the relationship between virtue and power, honour and vengeance. And its heart is Solina, a woman left unknown by Roman historians and yet whose resilience and cunning Elodie conjures with such skill – her strength, her vulnerability, her desire for freedom and love but, most of all, her will to survive.

Costanza Casati, author of Clytemnestra

Elodie Harper is a master storyteller with an extraordinary gift for recreating the past.... Solina is a character you can't help but love. Defined by her courage, moral complexity and heartfelt goodness, I defy anyone not to be completely beguiled by her and the world in which she exists. This is historical fiction of the highest quality.

Elizabeth Fremantle, author of Disobedience

Boudicca's Daughter is truly a triumph – heartbreakingly beautiful, deeply profound, and utterly captivating, this book went above and beyond my high expectations. Harper brings the ancient world to life with such stunning detail, exploring wonderfully complex, nuanced characters – it's impossible to not be swept away by this incredible story.
