About the Book

In a spellbinding novel of gods and men, myth and brutality, acclaimed author Manda Scott returns to her heralded saga of a world under siege. For here is the epic tale of Boudica, the legendary Celtic queen, and her embattled Eceni tribe--a bold new work of imaginative fiction that takes us on a thrilling journey into a clash between magic and mankind. To the Eceni tribe of Britannia, nature is the ultimate god, and warriors are joined in battle by the voices and spirits of their ancestors. But the proud Eceni are running out of time. Nero's army, long since out of patience with Britannia's wild tribes, is becoming increasingly oppressive. And Boudica's family is at the center of a gathering storm: Cunomar, Boudica's son, who longs for the mettle to kill as fiercely as his mother... Graine, her young daughter, gifted with the power of dreamers, scarred forever by the horrors of war...and Boudica's brother, born Ban of the Eceni, turned the traitor Valerius--a man caught between worlds: warrior and dreamer, Roman and Eceni. As conflict erupts between the tribes and their brutal invaders, Boudica is forced to make a bold sacrifice. Cloaking her identity, she will travel directly into the stronghold of an enemy who longs for her crucifixion. What happens next--in a brutal drama of betrayal, heroism, and sacrifice--will leave Boudica with no options but one: to raise and arm every warrior, every dreamer, every tribe...and push the invader and its legions back into the sea. From the thundering hooves of the Eceni's great horses to mystical spirit quests of young warriors, from the politics of an empire to the passions of lovers, Dreaming the Hound takes us on a breathtaking journey of the imagination--at once brutal, fantastical, and utterly unforgettable.
