About the Book

She is Breaca nic Graine, born to the Eceni, a tribe of dreamers and hunters, storytellers and artisans--men and women in whose lives the real and the fantastical exist side by side. As Breaca proves her brilliance in battle, she is catapulted to the forefront of her tribe, who will rename the copper-haired warrior Boudica ("She Who Brings Victory"). Many will share in Breaca's extraordinary destiny: the beloved father who always knew she was destined for greatness . . . the famed warrior whose love for her is rivaled only by his hatred for their shared enemy . . . the lost brother whose name will become her battle cry. . . . Now, as violence and treachery threaten a fragile peace, Breaca will once again be called to battle. And for the young queen, for the clashing native tribes she must unite, and for the spirits that live among them, a war for survival has only just begun. . . .

Review :
"What's amazing to me about this tale of Boudica, Britain's legendary female warrior, is the pitch-perfect fluency with which Manda Scott brings it forth . . . like an eyewitness recounting real events that she saw and participated in. Her reimagining of this age, when the tribes of Britain clashed with the legions of Rome, includes interior monologues, multiple points of view, dreams, visions, ecstasies, and interlocutions with the dead, all of it utterly convincing and compelling. . . . A stunning feat of the imagination and an absolute must-read for lovers of historical fiction."--Steven Pressfield, author of Tides of War and Gates of Fire "The first in an ambitious trilogy about the life of Boudica.... There is no shortage of juicy love triangles in all kinds of exotic configurations."--"Publishers Weekly " "Scott has written a suspenseful historical novel that will entertain fantasy readers and those looking for a strong character who can fight her own battles and still show her vulnerability. Oaths, loyalty, and tradition are at the heart of this imaginative tale."--"Booklist " "Scott weaves the stories of Breaca and Ban into a complicated and satisfying pattern. Definitely not a tired old retelling of a legend, this novel is beautifully written and lovingly told, filled with drama and passion. Scott takes great care to draw secondary characters and evoke the feel of first-century Britain. Highly recommended."--"Library Journal ""This is the best sort of historical fiction--exciting, full of a sense of how different times feel, and also intelligent about historical issues; Scott knows that at the point when historical events happen, they seem as if they are open chances." --Amazon.co.uk "Hailed as the new Mary Renault.... A truly remarkable story full of wonderful atmosphere... Intensely exciting, a tale of passion, courage and heroism against huge odds, which is intensely moving."--"Publishing News, "UK "Dreaming the Ea
