“A generous, powerfully relevant Early Historical Fiction with
chops. Recommended!” —Chanticleer Reviews Chaucer Award
“Elisabeth Storrs’s Tales of Ancient Rome series should really be
called Tales of Ancient Veii, as it brings the Etruscan town to
life. Thank you, Elisabeth, for giving a voice to some of the most
intriguing pieces of the Museum of Veii.” —Iefke van Kampen,
director of the Museo dell’Agro Veientano, Formello (Rome)
“In Call to Juno Elisabeth Storrs tells a vivid story of love and
war, honor and revenge set in Ancient Rome. Using a skillful blend
of history and drama, and full of characters both heroic and human,
Storrs transports readers to that long-ago world. Highly
recommended.” —M.K. Tod author of Lies Told in Silence
“Not much is known about the ancient Etruscans but Call to Juno is
a vivid and fascinating evocation of their fight for survival
against the might of Rome. This is a tale of great love and great
hatred, of treachery, courage, and honor, told in loving detail by
a knowledgeable and practiced storyteller.” —Felicity Pulman,
author of The Janna Chronicles
“Elisabeth Storrs brings Ancient Rome vividly to life; her skill as
a writer is equivalent to a time machine—we are there amid the
history and the drama, immersed so deep that in calling to Juno we
expect her to answer back.” —Helen Hollick, author of The Sea Witch
Voyages
“God cults, the different faces of love, and the cruelty of war are
among the themes in Elisabeth Storrs’s novel on the rivalry between
the Romans and the Etruscans. A well-researched, powerful novel
that builds to a memorable and terrifying end.” —Isolde Martyn,
author of Mistress to the Crown
“Call to Juno is a stirring saga of war, sacrifice, and
transcendent love.” —M. Louisa Locke, author of the Victorian San
Francisco Mystery series
“With plenty of action and characters you can really root for, Call
to Juno is a perfect, wholly satisfying conclusion to Elisabeth
Storrs’s trilogy. A Tale of Ancient Rome is one of the best
ancient-historical series I’ve read in years.” —Libbie Hawker,
bestselling author of Tidewater, Daughter of Sand and Stone, and
Mercer Girls
“Call to Juno is a book for long, delicious savoring.” —Judith
Starkston, author of Hand of Fire
“Storrs obviously did her homework in this meticulously researched
series. The level of detail about everyday life in Rome and among
the Etruscans is extraordinary.” —Faith L Justice, author of
Hypatia: Her Life and Times
“[Storrs’s] characters seem true to their time, strongly rooted in
the mores of their respective cultures as they strive to placate
the gods and gain victory. The contrast between the colorful,
sensual culture of the Etruscans and the more severe Roman society
is well portrayed, immersing readers in this ancient struggle.”
