GET OUT OR DIE by JANE FINNIS
|
SummaryRoman Britain in 91 AD is a raw frontier province, a
troublesome part of the mighty Empire ruled by Domitian
Caesar. Though it is almost fifty years since the legions
invaded, many native tribes still hate their conquerors and
seize any chance to harass the Roman settlers who are
flocking in to colonise the new province. Tension is
especially high in the north, where Aurelia Marcella, a
young innkeeper from Italy, runs the Oak Tree Mansio on the
road to York. A string of savage murders disrupts her
peaceful life, and she and her Roman friends find
themselves under attack from a secret native war-band, the
Shadow-men, whose aim is to drive all Romans out. A
traveller, Quintus, is nearly killed close to the inn, and
he and Aurelia must track down the rebel warriors and
identify their mysterious masked leader, the Shadow of
Death. Their investigations bring them into personal danger
from ruthless killers and devious deceivers. Can they find
and destroy the Shadow of Death before his campaign of
terror turns into open rebellion, so that all Romans must
get out or die?
