"The last embers of the fiery sunset danced across the surface of the Solway Firth, with the tips of its fingers illuminating the great stone fort at its edge."

Bookwomble I received this book via a Library Thing #EarlyReviewers giveaway. As the title indicates, it's set in Roman Britain, specifically at the Western end of Hadrian's Wall in 367CE, the year of the Great Conspiracy, when the Picts, Scots & Saxons conspired with disaffected Romans to overrun the island.
I'm only a dozen pages in, but so far the writing is decent, and for a self-published, print on demand book, only two typos so far is encouraging! 🧐

I read Winter Street two years ago, and loved it. Meant to read this last year but starting it today.
