OverviewEarly 1980s. Roma Nova, founded by dissidents in the dusk of the Roman Empire, is paralysed by a ruler afraid to rule and old laws choking reform. Fear sparks riots only to be exploited by the charismatic leader of a rising nationalist movement. Caius Tellus wants to seize power and destroy the old Roma Nova. Aurelia Mitela, ex-Praetorian and imperial councillor, attempts to rally resistance to counter the growing instability. But is it too late for her to save Roma Nova from meltdown and herself from entrapment and destruction by Caius, her lifelong enemy? Part political thriller, part deadly personal rivalry, INSURRECTIO is Roman fiction brought into the 20th century through an alternate history lens with a strong female protagonist with heart and courage leading the action.

Powell, author of the Fifth Knight series" Author InformationAlison Morton writes award-winning thrillers featuring tough but compassionate heroines. Her ten-book Roma Nova series is set in an imaginary European country where a remnant of the Roman Empire has survived into the 21st century and is ruled by women who face conspiracy, revolution and heartache but use a sharp line in dialogue. The latest, EXSILIUM, plunges us back to the late 4th century, to the very foundation of Roma Nova. Six Roma Nova full-length novels have been awarded the BRAG Medallion. SUCCESSIO, AURELIA, INSURRECTIO and JULIA PRIMA have been selected as Historical Novel Society's Editors' Choices. AURELIA was a finalist in the HNS Indie Award. The Bookseller selected SUCCESSIO as Editor's Choice in its inaugural indie review. A 'Roman nut' since age 11, Alison has misspent decades clambering over Roman sites throughout Europe. She blends her fascination for Ancient Rome with six years' military service and a life of reading crime, historical and thriller fiction. On the way, she collected a BA in modern languages and an MA in history. She continues to blog about Romans and writing. Now she continues to write thrillers, cultivates a Roman herb garden and drinks wine in France with her husband.
