Product description

A rip-roaring Roman mystery from Historical
Association Young Quills Award-winning author Ally Sherrick.

PRAISE FOR BLACK POWDER – WINNER OF THE
HISTORIAL ASSOCIATION YOUNG QUILLS AWARD:
’ … a wonderfully explosive adventure set in the turbulent
year of the gunpowder plot in Black Powder with impossibly
divided loyalties.’ JULIA GOLDING, AUTHOR OF THE
DIAMOND OF DRURY LANE

‘With its constant reversals and twists and turns, Tom’s story
is almost as complex as the pliot and counter-plot of the Gunpowder
Treason itself … The writing is lively and the pace never
flags.’ HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY

Vita longs to write the plays that she steals off to watch – but
as the daughter of a high-born Roman, her only future is marriage.

When her father is murdered, everything changes.

She escapes with her life – only to end up a slave, sharing a
cell with a fierce gladiator, Brea, and her wolf.

But when Vita and Brea discover they have a common enemy, they
know they must stand together for truth and justice …

A rip-roaring adventure set in Roman London from the
rising queen of middle-grade historical fiction, Ally Sherrick

Vita, nicknamed ‘Little Owl’ by her father, is an unlikely
hero – but when her father is murdered she has to uncover
the truth, even if it means finding unlikely friends

Themes of deceit, storytelling and fighting justice
