The Boudica fights alone to wrest Britain from the legions.  Unable to rouse the western tribes to open revolt, she returns east, to where her sister’s death has left a power vacuum amongst the Eceni. 

Taking leadership, she must also commit to ‘Tagos, who calls himself Prasutagos and is a supplicant to Rome.  She must continue her rebellion in some secrecy, while helping her children grow into their full power, in a land where the warrior rites are forbidden and dreamers languish under threat of crucifixion. 

In Ireland, Valerius, her brother, finds that it is not impossible, after all, to reconcile his two gods and his two peoples, and that there is a place for him in this turbulent world.  Brought together by the savagery of a Procurator out of control, Valerius and Breaca find they are fighting for the same side, if not necessarily for the same reasons.
