Warrior Queen by Karpov Kinrade

An "intelligent and infectiously enthusiastic" biography of the Celtic queen and an analysis of her impact on British and feminist history (The Sunday Times).

Boudica is an innocent sixteen-year-old girl who is forced into an arranged marriage by her father, the leader of a Celtic Tribe. However, her mother is unsure, doing whatever it takes to protect her daughter; so much so that she takes Boudica and persuades her to flee the village and live in her childhood home, away from an arranged marriage and a miserable life. Confusion and uncertainty fills Boudica's world as she faces so many challenges - the constant protection from her mother, falling in love, the ambiguity of her father's whereabouts and finding her inner strength and power. It is only a matter of time before the past catches up with everyone and Boudica must transform from a girl into the warrior queen of legend in order to protect the lives of those she loves.
