Description
Victoria: Born to Be a Warrior by Frances Mary Hendry is the first book in the Gladiatrix series, set in ancient Britain during the time of Roman occupation.
The story follows Victoria, a sixteen-year-old girl caught between two worlds: her mother’s native Iceni heritage and the Roman society shaped by her stepfather. As she struggles with identity, survival, and forced marriage, she is drawn into the uprising led by Queen Boudicca against Roman rule.
Blending historical research with fast-paced adventure, the novel explores themes of loyalty, freedom, identity, and personal strength. Victoria’s journey from confusion to resilience unfolds against a backdrop of political conflict, cultural tension, and war-torn ancient Britain.
