Review - Blood of Kings by MK Hume

The Blood of Kings (Tintagel, #1)
Roman Briton - 4th century AD - two very different men with one goal - unification.

This is a re-telling of "The Dream of Mascin Wledig" - the tale of Roman General Flavius Maximus and Caradoc, King of the Dumnonii. Maximus would be the first High King of Briton and Emperor of Rome, whilst Caradoc would be his regent in Briton.

The story is well researched; the characters are introduced and brought to life; the scene is well set; and Dark Age Briton is brought into the light.

Definitely well worth the read, especially for those with an interest in this period of history.
