Boudica (often called Boadicea) Queen of the Iceni tribe, lived in East Anglia, England during the time of the Roman occupation. We know she successfully sacked the town of Camulodunum (now Colchester) and incited rebellion. Popular myth suggests she was captured, handed over to the Druids and forced to drink hemlock. That is unlikely as the Druids wantd blood to flow back to the earthg, not be tainted by poison

This fictional account tells a different, more plausible, story saying that she was captured then taken to Rome to stand before the Emperor Nero. It is a believable, often harrowing tale, telling of the life and times of a brave Queen standing alone again.

Joyce Dore, the author came across a bunch of rags in the road whilst driving across the bleak Fenland of East Anglia. She then started to have dreams, and it is from these dreams that this story was written. Joyce says she had no thought of writing this story - it was given to her.

A compelling tale, well-researched, that brings to life a world that has largely disappeared, when people were in touch with the world that surrounds us all.
