Summaries

Saline inherits the kingdom of England on the eve of the signing of the treaty sharing power with the Roman Empire. However, revolt was brewing, threatening the fragile peace.

To honour her father's dying wish, Queen Salina shares the rule of Icena with Justinian, a fair and just Roman. This displeases the bloodthirsty Druids on one side and the more hard-line Romans on the other. As Salina and Justinian fall in love their enemies start to plot, and blood soon stains the green hills of Britain.—Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

In the invaded Britain kingdom of Icena, Queen Salina inherits the throne after the death of her father King Priam. The King has made a deal with the fair leader of the Roman Legion Justinian to share the government of Icena, despite the wishes of the Druids leader that wants war against the invaders. Out of the blue, Salina falls in love with Justino, and brings protests in both sides. A greedy merchant decides to promote the Druid uprising in the countryside to force Justino to travel and makes a deal with his right-hand Octavian to overthrow Justino and begin a war in Icena.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
