Hidden Hamlets, Dancing Trees

When Josin and Egen are the only survivors of a brutal attack on their village by soldiers of Imperial Rome, the occupying power, these brave young Celts set off on their own to find a new life and wreak vengeance on the invaders of Celtic Britain, their beloved homeland.

Egen proves himself an inspired fighter, with natural skill and swift, deadly tactics. He quickly develops successful guerrilla methods of attack on a well-disciplined but all too often complacent enemy. When his fame as a strategist grows, he is introduced to the Queen of the Iceni, the legendary Boudicca, and a new phase of revolt against the occupiers begins.

This is a powerful, atmospheric tale of how a rural, hunter-gatherer society stands up to their autocratic, oppressive invaders.
