AURELIA

By Alison Morton

“A high-gauge stainless steel needle was not the way I thought I would die."

 

Late 1960s. Roma Nova is haemorrhaging silver – its lifeblood since dissidents founded the country at the dusk of the Roman Empire. Ex-Praetorian Guard officer Aurelia Mitela is sent undercover to Berlin to investigate.

 

Should she pursue the mysterious and attractive Miklós, a suspected smuggler, or Caius Tellus, a ruthless and amoral Roma Novan she discovers operating in Berlin and whom she has despised and feared since childhood?

 

When her enemy strikes at her most vulnerable point, Aurelia must make an agonising decision – her country, her love or her child?

 

 

Awards

 

 

First in the Aurelia Mitela adventures, where Roman fiction is brought into the 20th century through an alternative history lens. INSURRECTIO, NEXUS (novella) and RETALIO follow on.

 

– Historical Novel Society’s indie Editor’s Choice

– B.R.A.G. Medallion

– Finalist, HNS Indie Award

 

 

Praise for AURELIA

“The action and drama are relentless; the climatic conclusion heart-stopping stuff”

Hoover Book Reviews

 

“Anyone interested in Roman history will enjoy the concept – and as this one is set in the sixties, it ticks all the boxes and deserves to be selected as Editor’s Choice.”

Historical Novel Society

 

“A racing climax and a fully satisfying ending"

Kate Quinn

Alison Morton

 

Alison Morton writes the award-winning Roma Nova series featuring modern Praetorian heroines – "intelligent adventure thrillers with heart." She puts this down to her deep love of Roman history, six years’ military service, a masters' in history and an over-vivid imagination. She blogs, reads, cultivates a Roman herb garden and drinks wine in France with her husband.

 

All six full-length Roma Nova novels have been awarded the BRAG Medallion. SUCCESSIO, AURELIA and INSURRECTIO were selected as Historical Novel Society’s Indie Editor’s Choices.  AURELIA was a finalist in the 2016 HNS Indie Award. SUCCESSIO was selected as an Editor’s Choice in The Bookseller. Novellas CARINA and NEXUS and a collection of short stories – ROMA NOVA EXTRA – complete the series so far.
