This is not a book for the squeamish. It is written about the Celtic people who were being driven from their lands by the Saxon invasion of England. Life was hard and brutal. No quarter was given and this book attempts to take the reader into that life and give them an insight into the conditions they endured. Although it is graphic, bloody and cruel by present day standards, life was hard and survival was not a given.
The Celts occupied Britain from circa seven hundred and fifty BC. Their descendants are to be found in the Cornish, Welsh, Irish, Scottish and Isle of Man peoples. They were a persecuted race that were driven from their homelands by a combination of overseas invaders. The final straw came with the invasion by the Angles and Saxons. Our narrative concerns one of the remaining clans of Celts being driven westwards from what is now Hampshire. Our heroine, Aerona, daughter of a clan chief, has the dream of creating a country of their own in South West England.
This is how it happened.
Enjoy, Simon.
