5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book from a not well-known era in Britain, 8 Aug 2002
"To Burn" is my first book by Claudia Dain and I hope the others are as good as this one. There are not many historical romances set in the era of Roman Britain and I find it very exciting and brave from the author to write one.This is the story of Melania a Roman Briton aristocrat and Wulfred a conquering Saxon warrior.
The plot is quite simple but it doesn't mean that there is not much action in the book. I find the historical background a bit lacking but it doesn't spoil the story. Melania is a proud Roman who becomes Wulfred's captive after the Saxons defeat her father and nearly destroy her Roman villa. She is very stubborn , full of her importance as a Roman and she wants to die because she hates the Saxons and she doesn't want to live among them. She fights Wulfred at every turn, she swears at him, she calls him stupid barbari, oaf and at the same time she fights her growing attraction to him. Wulfred is a strong warrior, proud of his being a victorious Saxon against Rome. He hates Rome, its culture, its beauty and its reputation in the Ancient world.
He wants to kill every Roman, he wants to destroy everything reminding him of Rome. The author concentrates the story around the two leading characters. Their fights are exciting and entertaining.They are both strong and stubborn and very well matched in everything. They represent two different worlds, two different beliefs and they hate their weakness for each other. Wulfred starts to desire Melania, to notice her intelligence, her bravery and her strength. Melania opens her eyes and heart to Wulfred's strength, his honourable behavior and his attractivness. Slowly they fall in love with each other and they bury their contradictory beliefs for their mutual happiness.
"To Burn" is a wonderful story about two people who find happiness together against all odds. The author proves that love can conquer everything. I loved this story.I wish there were more romance books around set in the era of Roman Britain, in the era of the Celts,Saxons and Vikings.I hope historical romance authors will write more books about these nearly unknown periods in history.
