About this audiobook

As warriors, seafarers, diplomats and traders of the Isles of southern Armorica, the Veneti conducted trade freely from Albion to Byzantium, unhindered for eons. But persuaded and later blackmailed into Roman governorship, their livelihood comes under threat, and some of their kin make the grave error of taking Roman soldiers hostage. Their druid decrees that a great sacrifice is needed to secure the favour of the Gods – and defeat the Romans, who are sure to retaliate. Sorcha, but a child at the time, wins the honour to become a divine sacrifice and attain an audience with the Gods. However, she must first make the sacred pilgrimage to Mon to meet Taliesin, High Merlin of Albion. For it is said that he awaits the arrival of a particular soul – one who will help him to reshape the future. Taliesin recognises Sorcha as that soul. Yet before the High Merlin can guide her toward her extraordinary destiny, many centuries into the future, he must first allow her to live out her fate in ancient Gallia, where her homeland and kin have just been decimated.
