Boudica Dreaming The Bull

Enter a World of Myth and Magic, of Legends Born and Heroes Lost... "Powerful...alive with the love, deceit, wisdom and heroics of humanity," praised Jean M. Auel about Boudica: Dreaming the Eagle, Manda Scott's acclaimed work of imaginative fiction. Now Scott returns to a world of omens and magic, victory and terror-a world where men and women hear their gods in the rustle of trees and the rushing of brooks-in a wondrous tale of war, passion, and betrayal. For here is the story of Boudica, the near-mythical warrior queen whose legend has never been told like this before. Boudica, "Bringer of Victory." Born to the Eceni, a tribe of dreamers and warriors, she is her people's last hope: a copper-haired warrior who can lead her tribe in battle-and speak the language of the sacred dreamers. But in the face of a battle half won, Boudica has retreated with the living and wounded. For across a river is the world's mightiest army. And with the invaders comes a strange, bloodthirsty warrior astride a pied horse-a man who seems to know the Eceni as well as they know themselves. For just as destiny marked the young queen for greatness, it was destiny, too, that drove Boudica's half brother to a far different path. Now brother and sister will stand on opposite sides of a brutal war of attrition, each unknowingly determined to see the other dead.Scott, Manda is the author of 'Boudica Dreaming The Bull', published 2005 under ISBN 9780385337748 and ISBN 0385337744.
