The Centurion's Woman
Alexandria "Alex" Moldovan fell asleep at a work retreat and woke up in the same place, just not in the right time. The situation improves when she's inadvertently rescued by a Roman Centurion, and as long as she can keep her wits - and his affections - she might just survive this. But trading one slave class for another doesn't help with the trouble that always seems to find her... Ixillius Traversi had been leading his century on a routine razing, but the slave he found imprisoned, injured and starved in the village is anything but typical. That she was alive seemed barely possible, and then she'd saved his life... and she wasn't afraid of him. He claimed the woman who called herself Alex as his slave, be it a curse or a blessing, but he still needs to know one thing: who is she? The Centurion's Woman is set in Germania Inferior circa 5 AD, and Maiden discovers that a two thousand year culture shock may be the easiest problem to overcome, but it won't be the last...

THE FIRST VIKINGS. (BOOK I)
This book is a testament to the complex women and men of the Viking Age, a time often characterized by the exploits of its warrior kings. While the men sailed the seas and clashed in battle, it was often the women who held their societies together, who managed their resources, ensured the continuity of their lineage and the stability of their clans, and who influenced the destinies of their families and their kingdoms. Their roles often extended beyond the domestic sphere, influencing decisions on war and peace, shaping political strategies and building alliances. Their voices, though silenced by the passing of time and the limitations of historical records, reverberate through the centuries. Credit: SquiblerComplete
