46 reviews"Those who root for Game of Thrones' Daenerys Targaryen will find much to love in Ailia's personal quest."―The News Daily
Set in Ancient Britain on the cusp of Roman invasion, Daughter of Albion is a mesmerizing novel about the collision of two worlds and a young woman torn between two men.
Daughter of Albion transports the reader to the village of Caer Cad in southwest Britain, AD 43, where the dark cloud of the Roman Empire is gathering on the horizon.
A baby girl is abandoned on the doorstep of the Tribequeen’s kitchen. Cookmother takes her in and names her Ailia. Without family, Ailia is an outsider in her village, forbidden from marriage and excluded from learning. Despite this, she grows up an intelligent and brave young woman, serving the Tribequeen of her township until the day when an encounter with an enigmatic man named Taliesin leads Ailia to the Mothers, the tribal ancestors, who have chosen her for another path.
Ailia’s growing awareness of her future role as the tribal protector and her relationships with the two very different men she loves will be utterly tested by the imminent threat of Emperor Claudius preparing to take the island.
With an incredibly compelling heroine, Daughter of Albion is a suspenseful and richly rewarding novel about women, about power, about love, and about the clash of cultures and the tenacity of belief.

Review"An exciting page-turner."–Historical Novels Review
“While fantasy lovers will enjoy the mysticism and world building, and historical fiction readers will appreciate the Roman invasion story line, there are also plenty of sensual scenes between Ailia and her two lovers for romance fans.” –Booklist
"Daughter of Albion belongs to the oeuvre of Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer-Bradley and the Crystal Caveseries by Mary Stewart with more than a dash of Epona." -Dark Matter Zine (Australia)
"Deeply layered, densely, sensuously written and profoundly original." -Isobelle Carmody
"Will appeal to lovers of historical fiction and lovers of literary fiction equally as well. It is an accomplished, absorbing and powerful debut." -Hoopla (Australia)
"Myth, mystery, history and romance are artfully intertwined in Australian author Ilka Tampke's enticing and immensely satisfying debut." -Good Reading (Australia)
ILKA TAMPKE's short stories and articles have been published in several anthologies, and in 2012 she was awarded a Glenfern Fellowship. She lives near Melbourne with her family and is at work on a sequel to DAUGHTER OF ALBION.
