The Dawn Stag - first UK edition
by Jules Watson
Set in Roman Britain in AD 81, this is the second installment in the Dalraida
Trilogy. Agricola, the ruthless governor of Roman Britain is intent on capturing
the last unconquered territory in Britain - Alba, Scotland. Rhiann is an Alban
priestess and princess who submitted to a political marriage to Eremon, an
exiled Irish prince. Out of duty, grew love - a powerful and desperate love that
will bind them together through conflict and betrayal. Now in them lies the hope
of a nation. For Agricola's army is formidable - brilliantly armed and heavily
supported. To the people of Alba it is a wall of steel and fire advancing across
their homeland, bringing with it desolation. The predestined day draws near: the
armies of Alba and Rome will meet in an epic battle to decide the fate of a
country. Rhiann searches for guidance in the spirit world, little realizing how
big a part she will play in this endgame. Eremon knows only that he must risk -
and sacrifice - many lives, perhaps even his own.
