INCEPTIO - Roma Nova Book 1 - Pretty Bookshelf

“It’s about Roman blood, survival and money. Mostly yours.”

New Yorker Karen Brown is running for her life. She makes a snap decision to flee to Roma Nova – her dead mother’s homeland, and last remnant of the Roman Empire in the 21st century. But can Karen tough it out in such an alien culture? And with a crazy killer determined to terminate her for a very personal reason?

Stifled by the protective cocoon of her Roma Novan family, deceived by her new lover, she propels herself into a dangerous mission. But then the killer sets a trap – she must sacrifice herself for another – and she sees no escape.

A thriller laced with romance and coming of age, this is Roman fiction brought into the 21st century through the lens of alternative history and driven by a female protagonist with heart and courage.

I WANT THIS

I loved it! Intriguing, unusual and thought-provoking. Karen develops from a girl anyone of us could know into one of the toughest heroines I’ve read for a while. Roma Nova was a world I really wanted to visit—and not just to meet Conrad—vivid and compelling. A pacey, suspenseful thriller with a truly dreadful villain, I can’t recommend INCEPTIO enough.
Kate Johnson, author of The UnTied Kingdom

Terrific. Brilliantly plotted original story, grippingly told and cleverly combining the historical with the futuristic. It’s a real edge-of-the-seat read, genuinely hard to put down.
Sue Cook, writer and broadcaster

Fast-paced, believable thriller set in a modern-day alternate timeline, with well-developed characters and a plot that is twisted enough to keep the reader guessing. Fans of Lindsey Davis should love the Roman connection and sharp wit of the Roma Novan characters; Lee Child fans will appreciate the strong, quiet and honorable male lead; readers who enjoy strong, independent and capable female characters will rejoice.
