The fact that Boudicca Queen of the Iceni (an ancient Celtic people) was in this book is what piqued my interest as I have been an admirer of her's for years. What I got out of the deal was more than I could have hoped for. Jeff Blackmer takes you by the hand and transports you to a Scotland of old,when the Romans still "tried" to rule Britain.Though Queen Boudicca died in her attempt at ridding her precious country of the Romans, her legacy lived on. This is a tale of the Scottish people and their tenacity,pride and strong will.As the story progressed I was caught up in the family history and the struggles that accompanied It.The old beliefs aiding the newer generations was amazing!Dragons even made appearances !By the end of this story I found myself cheering for the Scottish people and also weeping for their losses!Now I'm on my way to read the next book "Highland King" and I know I will not be disappointed !
