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 …
