EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER THREE
The sky was blue and bright. Too bright in fact. Seraphina squinted as she experienced her first taste of daylight in three days.
The weight of the metal binding her hands together dragged her arms down. This was accompanied by a dull pain in her shoulders and upper back. In the dark room where they were being held, she sat and the floor supported the weight of her chains.
Standing outside, they pulled down on her entire upper body. As if this wasn’t enough, leg shackles were attached to each girl.
The aches travelled up and down her limbs as she started walking. She stretched her fingers in an effort to counter the stiffness in her body. Despite this, Seraphina felt a smile cross her lips as the warmth of the sun brushed her skin. She tilted her head backwards a little, breathing in the fresh air, and was happy to be outside.
It was an odd mood, given the circumstances, but one that seemed to be shared by the other girls. They looked relaxed. Another whispered conversation with Rhea that morning had revealed that this was the time of day when they were fed too.
Having not eaten for two days, Seraphina was all too eager to eat whatever she was given.
As they were marched out of the building in single file, Seraphina’s eyes adjusted to the light. She glanced around and immediately felt the stares of her captors as she did so. A lump formed in her throat and Seraphina noticed all the other girls looking directly ahead.
She closed her eyes for a moment, and did the same, concentrating on the back of the girl in front of her.

Reading Seraphina marked the debut of a thrilling duo of books exploring the culture clash of Roman ambitions and Egyptian tradition. The protagonist, Seraphina, a spirited heroine, is thwart with nightmares from a forgotten past as she navigates her secret existence in the Great Library of Alexandria. Mystery collides with scandalous truths in city hurtling towards war.
Is it in the safety of the library or the fight that she finds her bravery? Is she ready for what she must sacrifice?
Or is the defiance a worthwhile risk to the possibility of being enveloped in the power-hungry anger she is trying to desperately to avoid.

Set in a time not often seen in historical fiction, it has a modern day feel which makes the characters more relatable. Seraphina is inspiring. Could easily see this turned into a Disney movie!” – Amazon Review (5 stars)
