And Boudicaâs family is at the center of a gathering storm: Cunomar, Boudicaâs son, who longs for the mettle to kill as fiercely as his mother. Graine, her young daughter, gifted with the power of dreamers, scarred forever by the horrors of war... and Boudicaâs brother, born Bán of the Eceni, turned the traitor Valerius â" a man caught between worlds: warrior and dreamer, Roman and Eceni.
