Więcej o książce

Dreaming the Eagle is the first part of an epic trilogy about Boudica, the last defender of Celtic culture in Britain and the only woman to lead her warriors against Imperial Rome. Set in 33 AD, eleven-year-old Breaca, who will become Boudica, is the red-haired daughter of an Eceni leader. As she transitions from girlhood to womanhood, she aspires to be a Dreamer, a mystical leader with foresight. However, after avenging her mother’s death by killing her attacker, she proves herself a warrior. The narrative also explores her relationships with two significant figures: Caradoc, a remarkable warrior and leader, and her half-brother Ban, a Dreamer destined to become a Druid. Ban's eventual return to the Celts is crucial for Boudica’s fate. The story is rich with vivid scenes, seamlessly transitioning from epic battle sequences to intimate moments. Manda Scott immerses readers in the vibrant world of tribal Britain before the Roman invasion, filled with druids, dreamers, and divine magic. This is a realm where warriors fight for honor and passion, showcasing courage and heroism against formidable odds. The tale powerfully captures the enduring roots of a story that resonates through the ages.
