Galdir - A Slave's Tale (Roman Fiction‪)‬

"Highly Commended"

in the Yeovil Literary Prize 2011


A Roman slave with a serpent tattoo uncovers his true barbarian identity... A battle for power among Frankish warlords leads to a mass exodus across the Rhine... All the while, Marcus Aurelius' Roman army pushes further north, changing everything.


These three seemingly unrelated events collide in a cataclysm that alters the course of history.


In the background, the ageing witch Chlotsuintha predicts it all. Or is she the one pulling the strings to shape her people's future?


'Galdir' is enthralling Roman fiction - a tale of love, brutal battles and conflict, in which a mystical prophecy winds its way through an epic saga of struggle against Rome.
