Review: Book 1 of a Great Historical Series!
Rating: 4 out of 5

When I first picked up this book I had no idea what it was about.  Sure I had read the Summary, but I didn't know what to expect.  The story is about King Decebalus's bastard son.  The premise for the story was good, and the story itself is well written. The plot moves along quickly and as you would expect it to.Character creation was okay.  I have to say that I just didn't "feel" the relationship between the two main characters.  But since this is more of a historical book than a true romance I can overlook that aspect.  The author did stick to the time period, and it was fun to read about ancient Rome and all the fighting for revenge purposes.There is quite a bit of violence in this story.  War, Bloodshed, Hatred all abound.  There is the love story aspect of it, which does tone down some of the violence in the book.  And I can say I like strong female characters and Camelia Skiba does not disappoint me in her choice of the strong female she has created.I happen to love reading books with a historical flair to them.  More so if the author stays true to the period in which she/he is writing and Camelia Skiba did a wonderful job of staying in that time period.  Romans and Saxons and battles of the time period.  Not for the faint of heart but it is definately a book to add to your TBR pile.Details/Disclaimer: Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.
