Customer Reviews

Immerse yourself in a forgotten world - amazing
Having just read all four of the Boudica books back-to-back I cannot recommend them highly enough. Scott has recreated in incredible detail an era of tribal British life which has been largely lost to history. Fictionalised but well-researched and based on what we do know as fact, the world of the warrior Boudica and her family and her people is vividly brought to life and gripped me all the way through. Spiritual, sensual, spectacular battles, brilliantly written, and a poignant evocation of how we used to live in harmony with our lands until the Romans came and stamped out our native culture. Well worth getting drawn into!

Gripped
The series so far have all been gripping and a cant put down, late night, 'oh God work in the morning' read- next!

The Bringer of Victory
This is the third book in what started out to be a trilogy, but happily for the reader the author has obviously had more material than she anticipated and has added another book after this one. All the books are extremely well written and on a subject that is dear to my heart, the occupation of Britain by the Roman Legions.

The book is the continuing story of Breaca, the Boudica or Bringer of Victory. Set in AD 57, much of Britannia is under the yoke of the Roman legions for almost a decade and in the South the vassal states are paying costly tithes to the Emperor for the pleasure of living in their own lands.

Boudica has left the island of Mona to make her way back to the lands of the Eceni, where she and her warriors are needed the most. Unfortunately since she left them the Eceni, a once proud people have become a downtrodden race, no longer allowed to worship the old gods.

In Hibernia, Ban, Breaca's half brother is struggling to make peace with his past life. Provoked by the Romans he vows to sail to Britain to come face to face with the Roman forces . . .
