| In 60 A.D. the Romans have arrived in full force. After some brutal fighting, a ceasefire is agreed upon; but neither side expects the hostilities to end. Meanwhile Druid priestess Lhiannon has a second reason for concern, as her student’s Celtic princess, Boudica, marries Iceni High King Prasutagos. He sues for peace while his wife and her mentor demand war to drive the invaders from their shore.
When Prasutagos dies, the Roman legion rejects Queen Boudica as the island ruler. Instead they torture her and rape her daughters. Outraged by the vicious affront, Boudica vows to avenge the Roman atrocities. With the help of Lhiannon and other Druids bringing the power of the battle goddess to her side, Boudica forges a powerful army to assault the Roman legions. The late great Marian Zimmer Bradley would be proud of this prequel to The Forest House, the first time she and Diana L. Paxson teamed up. The storyline smoothly combines ancient history with fantasy elements to please fans of both authors. Readers of the delightful Avalon series will appreciate learning what occurred that led to the formation of the Society of the Ravens. | |||
