Hailed as the new Mary Renault, Scott offers the first of three novels about Boudica, the last defender of the Celtic culture and legendary British warrior. The story opens in AD 32, with Breaca (later to be known as Boudica, Bringer of Victory) a young child defending herself against marauders, and killing the man who attacked and killed her mother. This is also the tale of Caradoc, an outstanding leader, and her half-brother B n, Roman captive and Druid. It is a truly remarkable story full of wonderful atmosphere and recounts that amazing world of tribal Britain in the years before the Roman invasion. Intensely exciting, a tale of passion, courage and heroism against huge odds, which is intensely moving. A big, big seller for 2003. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
