The marriage is a bitterly unhappy one, between a queen who seeks to create her own sphere of influence within the court and a suspicious king who eyes her efforts with hostility and resentment.

In my dreams, Odin whispers to me. He tells me I'm destined to wield a legendary sword. He tells me my road will bring me to Valhalla. But when I wake, I'm only Hervor. Fatherless. Unloved. Unwanted. Jarl Bjartmar, my grandfather, calls me cursed. My mother, her memories stolen by the gods, has forgotten me. Everyone tells me I should have been left to the wolves, but no one will tell me why. None but Eydis, a thrall with völva magic, believes I'm meant for a greater destiny. Yet who can believe a devotee of Loki?

Boudica, second daughter of a Celtic king, has little concern for tribal tensions and political intrigues. Called by the gods and the stirrings of her own wild heart, she listens instead to whispers of the oaks. But Boudica would be wiser to heed the warning cries of eagles. Rumors abound that the Romans are amassing forces for another invasion. In an effort to consolidate power, Boudica’s father turns to Prasutagus, the formidable ruler of the Greater Iceni. To win Prasutagus’s aid, Boudica’s father must strike a bargain - a deal with implications beyond Boudica’s imagining.

I’ll admit I’m a romantic and heroic. But to be honest, it’s not my fault: it’s the fault of all the horses I’ve ever known. In my romantic struggle for beauty in an unromantic mechanical age, my horses, simply by how they were, and how we looked, and how we were together, although no more than a tiny broadside against the ghost ship of mediocrity of this crazy age, were some kind of victory just by the fact that we still existed. Horses inspire courage against hopeless odds just by their courage and beauty.

Publisher's Summary
Manda Scott's Boudica will tell the extraordinary, resounding story of Britain's first and greatest warrior queen, the woman who remains one of the great female icons.
AD 57: much of Britannia has been under Roman occupation for more than 10 years, and tribes pay costly tithes to the emperor in return for the right to continue living on their own lands.
On the sacred isle of Mona, the Boudica, or ‘Bringer of Victory’ as Breaca has long been hailed, now knows for certain that her lover, Caradoc - betrayed, captured and kept hostage in Rome - will never return to her. She leaves Mona, where she and her warriors have been waging a guerrilla war, and takes the fight to the Eceni heartland where it is needed most. With her are her children, Cunomar and Grainne, and her best friend from childhood, ex-lover and dreamer Airmid.
But the once proud Eceni are a downtrodden and defeated people who are forbidden on pain of death to worship their old gods. Across the sea in Hibernia, Breaca’s half-brother, Bán, is struggling to make peace with his fractured past. Soon, provoked by Roman aggression, he will sail to Britannia where he and Breaca will face down the might of Rome in the bloodiest revolt the Western world has ever known.
Critic Reviews
"The best in the current crop of novels about Rome, its empire and its victims...never sentimental and always tough-minded." (The Independent)
"A powerful novel, alive with the love, deceit, wisdom and the heroics of humanity." (Jean M. Auel)
"Scott has teased a few facts from the ancient record to create an absorbing story from history and myth." (Publishers Weekly)

page turner, breathe taking and heart breaking
I just finished the fourth novel in the Boudicca series by Manda Scott. One more to go.
I LOVE historical fiction and the legend of The Boudicca and her right hand (female) druid, are very much a personal favorite.
Manda weaves a story woven in fantasy and historical fact.
I'm in tears. I knew what was going to happen to her daughters, and i know what happens next...
Yet still, I cried in gasps and sobs all the way through it.
Extraordinarily well written, with the authors notes and comments.
I cannot recommend a series more.
Outlander, be damned.

This book at the two previous were the best historical fiction books I have read or listened to. The characters were beautifully developed, the storyline was riveting, and the details were richly woven allowing one to imagine life in the period. The performance was outstanding.

Spellbinding. A great end to the trilogy.
This has been a truly wonderful reading experience during 2020, a year in which I have needed the comfort and solace of books and the world of imagination more than ever before.
Manda Scott has managed to create a completely plausible and believable world which brings ancient history to life. I absolutely loved the world of the Iceni and the other tribes of ancient Britons, their customs, their beliefs and their society, where women could be rulers, warriors and leaders.
These books will stay with me for a long time and I now want to know more about ancient Britain so will explore other stories and texts.
Throughout the trilogy the quality of the narration has been excellent and each of the narrators has created a memorable character in my mind, characters that seemed very real.
Absolutely brilliant.

an ensouled tale.
Compelling.
this writing is ensouled. meaning it comes from a deeper place than the discursive mind / dissociated mentation. and we need this especially in the 'cultureless culture' of the global west, in order to come back to life, to cultural shapes that are relational, that perceive and celebrate and draw their coherence from the deeper patterns of living intelligence that comprise the earth system!
