Wrath of the Picts
(2022)(The fifth book in the Warrior Druid of Britain series)
A novel by Steven A McKay
"The Warrior Druid of Britain books are destined, I feel, to become classics of Historical Fiction." - Speesh Reads
Princess Catia has gone missing and once again it falls to the legendary druid, Bellicus, to find her. Was the child taken by force, or did she go willingly with the Pictish warrior-woman, Aife?
Their trail leads far north to the windswept fortress of Dunnottar, so the druid must journey there with his companions, Duro, Eburus, and the fearsome wardog, Cai. Leaving Dun Breatann in the hands of Queen Narina and her enigmatic new husband, Ysfael, the friends ride out, but things are never as straightforward as they seem…
Violence and death follow Bellicus as he seeks to discover the fate of the princess. In doing so, he also finds himself on the trail of the swordsman, Lancelot, who disappeared months before when his warband was slaughtered by Saxons. Will the druid be in time to save them both? Or will their enemies, old and new,earn the bloody vengeance and glory they so desperately desire?
Ambition, lust, grief, and the power of the old gods combine in Wrath of the Picts as the druid and his companions are thrust towards a shocking finale that will leave Dun Breatann in turmoil and Northern Britain ravaged again by war.
Fans of Bernard Cornwell, Matthew Harffy, Griff Hosker, and Conn Iggulden will love this action packed fifth novel in the Warrior Druid of Britain Chronicles!
Praise for Wrath of the Picts
"I don’t think I”m really stretching my neck out much by saying it is a must read book (and series), even if you aren’t familiar with the period and/or Steven’s earlier work. If you’re not, you’re in for a real treat, if you are, you’re going to be held spellbound, for a long, long time." - Speesh Reads
"Steven A McKay is such a skilful storyteller that you cannot wait for the book to finish – and yet, dread getting to the end. And Wrath of the Picts is just a fabulous adventure!" - History...The Interesting Bits/Sharon Bennett Connolly
"This is a cracking instalment.. the urgency.. the details.. the brilliant twists and character development.. simply untouchable greatness, you won’t find a better storyteller than Steven A. McKay." - David's Book Blurg
Genre: Fantasy
