Spirit and Fire

It is AD60 and a young Celtic girl is caught in the crossfire of Roman Britain at war. Aifa is a thinker whose quietness and fears inspire her warrior father to call her mouse. But when she is captured and sold as a slave to a Roman household in Londinium, she learns unexpected courage.

Her new life is alien, cruel and unjust and the favour she finds with her high-born mistress breeds resentment among her fellow slaves. As she faces bullying, humiliation and many dangers, her faith in the goddess Epona sustains her. But finally she is alone. Can she survive hunger, pain and sickness to find what she is looking for?
