See all formats and editions

AD 81. Agricola, the ruthless governor of Roman Britain is intent on capturing the last unconquered territory in Britain - Alba, Scotland.

Rhiann is an Alban priestess and princess who submitted to a political marriage to Eremon, an exiled Irish prince.

Out of duty, grew love - a powerful and desperate love that will bind them together through conflict and betrayal.

Now in them lies the hope of a nation. For Agricola's army is formidable - brilliantly armed and heavily supported.

To the people of Alba it is a wall of steel and fire advancing across their homeland, bringing with it desolation.

The predestined day draws near: the armies of Alba and Rome will meet in an epic battle to decide the fate of a country.

Rhiann searches for guidance in the spirit world, little realizing how big a part she will play in this endgame.

Eremon knows only that he must risk - and sacrifice - many lives, perhaps even his own.
