The Stone Rose by Jacqueline Rayner

The novel “The Stone Rose” by Jacqueline Rayner was published for the first time in 2006.

Mickey brings the Tenth Doctor, Rose and Jackie to the British Museum after discovering that there’s a Roman statue of the goddess Fortuna dating back to 120 A.D. whose face is absolutely identical to Rose’s. Feeling that it’s not a coincidence, the Doctor brings Rose to the Rome of that time.

When they arrive in Rome, Doctor and Rose quickly become involved in the problems of the family of Gracilis, whose son mysteriously disappeared. That leads them to meet the sculptor Ursus and a strange girl who seems to be able to predict the future for real.
