A rip-roaring Roman mystery from Historical

Association Young Quills Award-winning author Ally Sherrick.

PRAISE FOR BLACK POWDER - WINNER OF THE

HISTORIAL ASSOCIATION YOUNG QUILLS AWARD:

‘ … a wonderfully explosive adventure set in the turbulent

year of the gunpowder plot in Black Powder with impossibly

divided loyalties.’ JULIA GOLDING, AUTHOR OF THE

DIAMOND OF DRURY LANE

‘With its constant reversals and twists and turns, Tom’s story

is almost as complex as the pliot and counter-plot of the Gunpowder

Treason itself … The writing is lively and the pace never

flags.’ HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY

Vita longs to write plays and poetry - but as a high-born girl

in Roman Londinium, her fate is sealed: marriage and children.

Then her father is murdered, her mother and brother disappear,

and Vita flees from a shadowy enemy.

Disguised as a slave at the gladiator’s arena, she forges

an unlikely bond with Brea, a native Briton gladiatrix - and her

wolf.

Together, they resolve to discover and bring the killer to justice

before Vita’s identity is revealed …

A rip-roaring adventure set in Roman London from the

rising queen of middle-grade historical fiction, Ally Sherrick

Vita, nicknamed ‘Little Owl’ by her father, is an unlikely

hero - but when her father is murdered she has to uncover

the truth, even if it means finding unlikely friends

Themes of deceit, storytelling and fighting justice
