Boudica Sequence

by M.C. Scott 4 books in this series

Manda Scott’s four-volume Boudica sequence follows Breaca, the Eceni warrior who becomes Boudica, from childhood in pre-conquest Britain to the uprising against Roman occupation. The novels combine tribal politics, military conflict and the spiritual world of warriors and dreamers, presenting Roman expansion through the lives of people whose families and communities are divided by conquest.

Across Dreaming the Eagle, Dreaming the Bull, Dreaming the Hound and Dreaming the Serpent Spear, Breaca’s path repeatedly crosses that of her half-brother Bán, later the Roman cavalry officer Valerius, and her lover Caradoc. Their competing loyalties turn the history of the Claudian invasion and the Boudican Revolt into a personal saga of leadership, belief, betrayal and resistance.
