The Iron Between trilogy follows the career of Agricola, the famed Roman General and Governor, from the outset of the Boudiccan uprising through the Year of the Four Emperors to the conquest of Druid Island (Anglesey). The author’s attention to historical accuracy will immerse you in first-century Romano Britain and Ireland.
Follow the intrepid leader through trials of love and war as he battles demons within and without. In a narrative that is both gripping and emotionally resonant, watch him as he falls in love with a Celta Druidess and risks losing his head to save her. Listen as he stands on the rise above the port of Caer Gybi and tells the world he will conquer Hibernia with a single legion and auxiliaries.
