Celtic Fervour Series published by Crooked Cat Publishing
Can the Celtic Tribes repel the Roman army?
AD 71
Banished from the nemeton, becoming a priestess is no
longer the future for Nara,
a princess of the Selgovae tribe. Now charged with choosing a suitable mate
before Beltane, her plan is thwarted by Lorcan, an enemy Brigante prince, who
captures her and takes her to his hill fort. Despite their tribes fighting each
other, Nara
feels drawn to her captor, but time runs out for her secret quest.
As armies of the Roman Empire march relentlessly northwards,
Lorcan intends to use Nara
as a marriage bargain, knowing all Celtic tribes must unite to be strong enough
to repel imminent Roman attack. Nara’s
father, Callan, agrees to a marriage alliance between Selgovae and Brigante,
but has impossible stipulations. Lorcan is torn between loyalty to his tribe
and growing love for Nara.
When danger and death arrive in the form of the mighty Roman
forces, will Nara
be able to choose her Beltane lover.
Ravaged by war
…AD 71. After the battle at Whorl, Brennus of Garrigill is
irrevocably changed.
Returning to Marske, Ineda finds her grandmother dead,
though Brennus is not. Snared by a Roman patrol, they are marched to Witton where
he is forced to labour for the Roman IX Legion.
Embracing his new identity as Bran, Brennus vows to avert
Roman occupation of northernmost Brigantia. Ineda becomes his doughty spying
accomplice, though sometimes she’s too impetuous. Trading with the Romans lends
excellent opportunities for information gathering. Over time, Bran’s feelings
for Ineda mar with his loyalty to Ineda’s father.
When she disappears, and cannot be found, Bran enters direct
service with Venutius, King of the Brigantes.
