AD 71, Northern Britannia Late Iron Age At the Islet of the Priestesses, acolyte priestess Nara greets each new day eager to do her allocated tasks. She is a respected healer of the people at Tarras Hillfort and the overseer of the defences of the sacred priestess nemeton - an unusual combination of skills.

The new Roman Governor of Britannia, General Cerialis, is ensuring that the Roman temporary encampment at Eboracum will soon become a huge fortress of the Legio IX. Smaller forts are appearing in the west where the new Legate Julius Agricola is making his mark in the Legio XX. When Lorcan meets the Druid Maran, the future foretold for Lorcan of Garrigill is as enthralling as it is horrifying...
