Book Description

"To the Eceni tribe of Britannia, nature is the ultimate god, and warriors are joined in battle by the voices and spirits of their ancestors. But the proud Eceni are running out of time. Nero's army, long since out of patience with Britannia's wild tribes, is becoming increasingly oppressive. And Boudica's family is at the center of the gathering storm: Cunomar, Boudica's son, who longs for the mettle to kill as fiercely as his mother ... Graine, her young daughter, gifted with the power of dreamers, scarred forever by the horrors of war ... and Boudica's brother, born Ban of the Eceni, turned the traitor Valerius - a man caught between worlds: warrior and dreamer, Roman and Eceni." As conflict erupts between the tribes and their brutal invaders, Boudica is forced to make a bold sacrifice. Cloaking her identity, she will travel directly into the stronghold of an enemy who longs for her crucifixion. What happens next - in a brutal drama of betrayal, heroism, and sacrifice - will leave Boudica with no options but one: to raise and arm every warrior, every dreamer, every tribe ... and push the invader and its legions back into the sea.
