A lovely read...anyone enamoured by Celtic history will be interested. It's a lovely Sci-fi read and I'm captured. I'll be following through this trilogy with gusto!

A bit base and bloody, but a fine adventure when you get past that. Lots of "Britishisms" in the writing were a bit distracting, but I loved the characters and the history included in the world created. A good read for me anyway.

About the author

Angus Watson is an author and journalist living in London. He's written hundreds of features for many newspapers including the Times, Financial Times, and the Telegraph, and the latter even sent him to look for Bigfoot. As a fan of both historical fiction and epic fantasy, Angus came up with the idea of writing a fantasy set in the Iron Age when exploring British hillforts for the Telegraph, and developed the story while walking Britain's ancient paths for further articles.
