Black Ships by Jo Graham

Black ships is the story of a girl who is born after her people are conquered and become enslaved. She is given to a temple and becomes a priestess of Death. One day a vision brings her face to face with the remnants of her people as they sack her town. She makes a snap decision to join them on the journey to find a new home. The writer recreates the vivid world of ancient Rome, the characters experience growth and are very likable. Overall I would rate this book 8.5/10
