description: Beltane AD425Northern BritainMidnight approaches and in Dun Breatann's great hall the Beltane celebrations continue with stories and songs and as much meat and ale as anyone could wish for.On the western side of the towering fortress however ten small figures make their way up the shadowy rock. Armed to the teeth and hand-picked for their particular skills these warriors have travelled across the sea from Dalriada and are focused on their deadly mission despite the fact most - perhaps all - of them will die this night.High above guards patrol the fortress walls as usual but they expect yet another quiet night for as everyone knows Dun Breatann is impregnable.Isn't it?Join the giant warrior-druid Bellicus and his dog Eolas as violence erupts and they're forced to fight for their lives while also struggling to understand the motives for this apparently senseless attack on their home.This brand new novelette was written during the COVID-19 lockdown specifically to provide much-needed entertainment and escapism for adventure fiction fans. So pour yourself a mug of ale (or coffee!) sit back and join Bellicus in fifth-century Britain for a while.
