Boudica : dreaming the hound / Manda Scott

I. Spring- Autumn AD. 33 -- II. Winter-Spring AD. 37 -- III. Spring AD. 39- Spring AD. 40 -- IV. Late summer-autumn AD. 43.

In AD 60, Boudica, war leader of the Eceni, led her people in a final bloody revolt against the occupying armies of Rome. It was the culmination of nearly twenty years of resistance against an occupying force that sought to crush a vibrant, complex civilization and replace it with the laws, taxes and slavery of the Roman Empire. Gloriously imagined, BOUDICA: DREAMING THE EAGLE recreates the beginnings of a story so powerful its impact has survived through the ages, recounting the journey to adulthood of Breaca, who at twelve kills her first warrior, and her sensitive, skillful half-brother Ban, who carries with him a vision of the future that haunts his waking hours.
