As Roman Britain teeters on the brink of collapse, Gaius Rusticelius Armoricus and his family struggle to preserve their ancestral villa and way of life. While Armoricus clings to the old Roman traditions of his family, his wife Corotica anchors the household with her practical wisdom. Their children face a changing world—one drawn to distant Roman cities, the other bound to the rhythms of the farm. Around them, workers, craftsmen, and a newly arrived priest wrestle with loyalty, identity, and the rising tide of fear and disorder.

When violence nears and old certainties begin to fail, each must decide where his or her true allegiance lies. Tillers of the Soil is a powerful novel of survival, belonging, and love for a land that will soon be lost.
