<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Set in Iron-Age Britain during the turmoil of Roman invasion, Songwoman explores one woman's quest to defend her culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The long-awaited new novel by the acclaimed author of Daughter of Albion. In 47AD, Rome has colonised southeast Britain. Tortured by her part in the Roman attack that destroyed her township, Ailia has been living alone in a remote Welsh forest. She returns to a world that has been turned upside down. The tribespeople cling to what little land remains to them, investing all their hope in the charismatic war-king, Caradog, who has been leading a guerrilla campaign against the encroaching army. As the fighting escalates, Ailia proves herself an indispensable advisor to the war-king. But she must overcome a fellow tribesman determined to undermine her. And subdue her passionate attraction to Caradog. The soul of her country will only survive if Ailia succeeds in becoming a Songwoman.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for DAUGHTER OF ALBION: "While fantasy lovers will enjoy the mysticism and world building, and historical fiction readers will appreciate the Roman invasion story line, there are also plenty of sensual scenes between Ailia and her two lovers for romance fans.--Booklist; "I am in awe of Ilka's ability to recreate a Britain of AD43.
