Summary

Northern Britain, AD 431, Spring.

Bellicus the Druid and his friend Duro, a former Roman centurion, have already suffered a great deal in recent years but, for them, things are about to get even worse.

Britain is changing. The Romans have gone and warriors from many different places seek to fill the void the legions left behind. In the south, the Saxons' expansion seems unstoppable despite the efforts of the warlord Arthur, while north of Hadrian's Wall various kings and chieftains are always looking to extend their borders.

In Dun Breatann, Bellicus believes the disparate northern tribes must put aside their differences, become allies, and face the Saxon threat together, under one High King. Or High Queen...

Small-minded men don't always look at the bigger picture though, and, when Bellicus and Duro seek to form a pact with an old enemy, events take a shocking and terrible turn that will leave the companions changed forever.

This third book in the Warrior Druid of Britain Chronicles is packed with adventure, battles, triumph, and tears, and at the end of it a new course will be set for Bellicus. But at what cost?

"Dark age adventure at its gripping best." (Matthew Harffy, author of The Bernicia Chronicles)

"The Druid tells a story as stunning as the cover art suggests." (Sharon Bennett Connolly, author of Heroines of the Medieval World)

Excellent

I was a wee bit dubious at first reading the first book in this series, however, I have now finished book 3 TNT and loving them. Great read and well read. I honestly don’t know what some are saying about the narrative. I’m enjoying reading the exploits of the Druid, the Centurion and the faithful hound.
