24 AD is the setting for this fantasy book. It sounds like a fantastic book with elements of romance, magic, and fantasy. When their authority is questioned, royalty has historically experienced issues. How does Raven handle everything? Congrats on BOTD!

The historical fiction book talks about how Princess Catrin, the youngest daughter of King Amren of the Cantiaci Celtic warriors, has the power to prophesy, shape-shift and call on nature’s forces which is the power of the ancient Druids. The story also talks about how Catrin falls in love with Marcellus, son of the Roman Senator Lucius Antonius. I like how the characters were well-developed, and how it contains a great plot twist. I'm glad you enjoyed reading this book. Nice review.

I haven't read many historical novels lately, but this one sounds really interesting. I also truly value the presence of strong female characters; this is an area where fiction can sometimes fall short. Congratulations on winning the BOTD; nice book!

It was a really detailed review. And I am genuinely interested reading this book about strong female characters. Also it intrigues me to read fantasy books. It would have been good if you would mentioned the sexual content rating because or trigger warnings so that it may not be uncomfortable for other people

The story in Linnea Tanner's historical fantasy Apollo's Raven is based on mythology and ancient history. The romance between Marcellus, a Roman and the son of Roman senator Lucius Antonius, and Princess Catrin of the Celtic Kingdom is described in the book. Catrin is a strong character. I love the role she played in the book. This is a gripping story that will keep readers in suspense. Congrats on the BOTD.

Apollo’s Raven is a book I’m waiting to read. It’s story flows around history and myths. A king ruling his kingdom with his people and their loyalty to him and the region development.
