“Beathan is a strong personality in this tale. Defiant and proud, he must learn to curb his defiance in order to survive. But while outwardly he is subservient, inside, his anger is seething, and the flame of his vengeance burns.” A Discovering Diamond - Discovering Diamond Reviews.
Young Beathan of Garrigill is held hostage by General Agricola and dragged in chains all the way to Rome. However, Rome is not Beathan’s destiny. Regrettably, escape from Rome does not mean a lifetime of liberty when he returns to Britannia. Imprisoned yet again, how can he and his fellow captives gain freedom to wreak vengeance on their Roman legion enemies?
Torrin is a strong-minded young warrior-woman who is forging her own future, her aim being to destroy the Roman usurpers who control her home territory. She willingly takes care of Beathan in a time of need, but what of the future?
Agricola's career is in tatters. Attempts on his life are plentiful, having lost favour with his emperor. His gods have abandoned him, yet he finds assistance comes from a surprising source.
Will Beathan gain his freedom to return to his kin in Caledonia? Will Torrin be by his side? And how can Agricola survive without the emperor's benevolence?
The tales of the Garrigill Brigantes continue…
“This is the 5th book in the Celtic Fervour Series by Nancy Jardine. I have read all 5 books and can highly recommend them for the story telling of a period of history that has been over looked by many authors.”
Beathan The Brigante, and the complete Celtic Fervour Series, will appeal to readers who enjoy historical adventure fiction set during the 1st Century Invasion of Roman Britain.
