Publisher's Synopsis
Ashlynn James was a southern Indiana country girl working on an archaeological dig along Hadrian's Wall in the Anglo-Scottish border country when she finds an ancient Roman coin among the rubble. Reading aloud the Latin inscription upon the coin's face, Ashlynn finds herself swept back in time to one of the ancient world's most dangerous empires, Roman occupied Britain. Enslaved, tortured, and molested beyond human endurance, Ashlynn climbs to the top of Hadrian's Wall and steps off into the darkness. Broken, but breathing Ashlynn survives the fall and is taken by Pict raiders to their village. Will Ashlynn find herself in the same torturous life of an abused slave or will she find, in this cruel land, a place to call home? All Roads Lead to Rome is book one in the Hadrian's Wall series by author JL Musgrave. Book one takes place along the border of England and Scotland and contains elements of archaeology, time travel, slavery, abuse, healing, and survival during Roman occupied Britain. Book one includes historical references to the Roman occupation of Britain and the Pict warriors who held them at bay. The Reiving Rogue, book two in the Hadrian's Wall series, follows Ashlynn's sister, Jacklyn, as she searches for answers to her sister's disappearance and finds herself transported back in time to the Anglo-Scottish border when reiving bands of men ran the countryside. Will Jacklyn find her sister or will she too be lost to the tides of time?
