It is 69AD, and the Romans have been lords of the southern part of Britain for over twenty years. Knowing their eyes are forever northward, the Brigante King Venutius decides to send two of his young sons north to safety.
Sewell, a northern druid, is sent on the mission to locate the boys, then get them safe to his homeland in the Caledonii nation.
It is a dangerous journey through hostile lands, and there are many who would stand in his way. He cannot fail.

The prequel to the "Caledonii" series is set in the time just after Venutius' break with the warrior-queen Cartimandua - 69AD.
"There was danger in the land ... the ominous seepage of the foreign influence .." - Rome! Fearing the encroachment of the Romans, Venutius decides to send his young sons north, with the Druid Sewell, to safety.
Not having read any in the series, there was no preconceptions. It was a fair short "pursuit" story. Will I follow up with the series - probably not.
