The setting is Britain
following the Roman invasion
in the time of Boudica. In
the centre, a damaged
adolescent comes to power.
In a far, new Province, the
dismantling of Celtic
institutions and the opening
of the territory to World
trade is blocked by a
furious native rebellion.
Book Description
The demolition of native
states continues to fuel the
expansion of the Roman
Province of Britain.
Compliant British rulers are
supported while defiant ones
are overthrown. The Order of
the Druids, the single most
important unifying
institution among the Celtic
tribes is being
systematically destroyed.
But, the introduction of a
single currency, a common
scale of weights and
measures, a single official
language, a common legal
system and the opening of
Britain to the World economy
is all at risk.
There are reports of
counterfeiting on an
industrial scale and, at the
moment of the extinction of
a Druids, a catastrophic
native uprising brings the
Province to the brink of
collapse.
