Description
In late Spring 455 AD, Ambrosius Aurelianus, a weary imperial officer, leads his followers to south-west Britannia in search of his mother's kinfolk. However, his quest is complicated by a dangerous alliance against him, forged by the High King Vortigern. Seeking refuge in a ruined Roman fort, Ambrosius finds an unlikely ally in Lurotriga, the widowed queen of the Durotriges. As Ambrosius navigates the treacherous landscape of ancient Britain, he must balance his loyalty to his Saxon lady Inga with his growing feelings for Lurotriga. The fragile peace between the Britons and Saxons is threatened by their mutual rivalry, and Ambrosius must find allies quickly to defend against the growing threat of Vortigern. With his forces stretched perilously thin, Ambrosius must rely on the fighting spirit of his small force to survive. A shocking revelation about his mother's kin may hold the key to Ambrosius' final reckoning with Vortigern, but the odds are against him. Heavily outnumbered in the thick forests and steep valleys of his enemy's homeland, Ambrosius must summon all his courage to defeat the High King.
