Iceni: The Year of Sacrifice is the first thrilling instalment in this historical trilogy.
60 AD. The death of Prasutagus, the Iceni king, leaves his kingdom divided between Rome and his daughters. The Roman Procurator Catus Decianus seizes the entire territory and brutalizes Boudica and her family.
Driven by vengeance, Boudica rallies the Iceni tribe and allies including the Trinovantes, Coritani, and Catuvellauni. As Roman forces are preoccupied in the north, Boudica's rebel army advances on Camulodunum, the Roman provincial capital, where a vastly outnumbered Roman defence struggles to hold.
With the fate of Roman Britannia hanging in the balance, the epic tale of sacrifice, rebellion, and fierce determination unfolds.

" [...] This is the story of Boudica, the priest and the Iceni, who fought for a way of life that was vanishing under Roman rule. [...]"
Wow! I am shocked that the novel "Iceni: The Year of Sacrifice" by Stephen D Owen drew me in so much. Usually I am not drawn in by books whose subject goes back to the times of Nero. However, the author presented it in such a way that I can not wait for the next part. There will be three parts in total, because it is a trilogy. Stephen D Owen perfectly combines fiction with real historical events. Through two heroines: the Celtic queen Boudica and the traitor Aderyn, he shows that strength has been dormant in women since those times. Boudica, or rather Queen Bere, had to lead her people after her husband's death. Together with the Iceni and other peoples, she will fight for dignity with the Romans - soldiers of the Roman Empire. She does not want to bow to Nero. Aderyn - unfortunately, is a traitor. Will she have to pay for it?
In this novel, you will find many plot twists, conspiracies, betrayals and unforeseen events. There are also many fights and dangerous situations. This is a very exciting historical book. If you like to go back in time and get to know historical figures from a different perspective, then feel free to reach for "Iceni: The Year of Sacrifice" by Stephen D Owen. I guarantee you that you will not be bored while reading. I wonder if you will side with Boudica or Suetonius Paulinus.
And it all started with the discovery in 1984 of a well-preserved body, probably belonging to a priest of the Incen. His body was from the 1st century AD. Next, we go back to the 1st century and learn about a dangerous story. Keep your eyes open and be careful who you trust. You will also learn what happened to the druids' gold. You will meet another traitor, Durus, and the prosecutor of Britain, Catus Decianus. Of course, there will be other characters here as well.
I am glad that I could read this novel. I hope that one day we will be able to see the entire trilogy, for example, on Netflix.
This book inspired me to create short films with AI, which you can see on my Instagram.
