Buy the book from:
The Roman invasion under Claudius confronts the divided peoples of Britain with a choice between accommodation and resistance. Caradoc attempts to unite the tribes against the legions, while rival rulers and Roman diplomacy repeatedly weaken the coalitions on which his campaign depends.
The struggle continues into the generation of Boudica, whose revolt becomes the last great attempt to drive Rome from southern Britain. Moving between Celtic courts, battlefields and the imperial world, the novel treats conquest as a conflict over identity, family loyalty and the price paid by communities that choose either rebellion or submission.
