⭑⭑⭑ A well written fantasy novel focused on a time period hundreds of years after the Romans left the British Isles. A time of feudal lords and factional power struggles when two daughters of the Great Smith, Isla and Blue, must make their way in the world on their own. They find themselves hunted and seeking refuge in the ancient remains of Londinium with a ragtag group of people living on the fringes of 'civilization'.
I enjoyed most the artifacts they dug up, the work done to hold back the decay of their existence in the ruins and generally how they managed the thrive whilst protected from the eyes of battle-hungry men. A good bit of escapism, Dark Earth successfully transported the reader to a far different time and place.
