Early 1980s. Roma Nova, founded by dissidents in the dusk of the Roman Empire, is paralysed by a ruler afraid to rule and old laws choking reform. Fear sparks riots only to be exploited by the charismatic leader of a rising nationalist movement.
Caius Tellus wants to seize power and destroy the old Roma Nova.
Aurelia Mitela, ex-Praetorian and imperial councillor, attempts to rally resistance to counter the growing instability.
But is it too late for her to save Roma Nova from meltdown and herself from entrapment and destruction by Caius, her lifelong enemy?
Part political thriller, part deadly personal rivalry, INSURRECTIO is Roman fiction brought into the 20th century through an alternate history lens with a strong female protagonist with heart and courage leading the action. If you enjoy reading mystery books for women with plenty of twists, this is for you!
