Set in the time of the Germanic wars of Emperor Marcus Aurelius and his disastrous successor's rule, his son and heir Commodus, it tells the story of this female warrior who was captured into slavery and the life of a gladiator.
It is largely based on the exact history of the time and I've spent months on research into the time, the politics and the people.
Many falsehoods and misconceptions exist about the Roman gladiator and their lives, customs and existence. And even more so about their female counterparts the gladiatrix. Yes, they actually did exist!
This is the backdrop against which the story of Skjaldmey, The Sheild-Maiden takes place.
