kenjariLady of the Light
by Donna Gillespie
On the lighter, more "popular" side of historical fiction, this book was a very entertaining read. Set on the Germanic frontier during Trajan's reign, it's the sequel to The Light Bearer, which I read several years ago. Gillespie continues the story of Auriane, a woman of a Germanic tribe who has come to live with a Roman patrician, Marcus. In Lady of the Light, Auriane's divided loyalties lead both her and Marcus down the path of destruction due to the increasing tensions between her people and the Roman Empire. It's not great literature, but it was very pleasing to read. Gillespie is quite good at keeping the plot moving and the reader interested in the story and characters.
