About this audiobook

A YEAR OF RAVENS

Britannia: land of mist and magic clinging to the western edge of the Roman Empire. A red-haired queen named Boudica led her people in a desperate rebellion against the might of Rome, an epic struggle destined to consume heroes and cowards, young and old, Roman and Briton . . . and these are their stories.

A calculating queen foresees the fires of rebellion in a king's death.

A neglected slave girl seizes her own courage as Boudica calls for war.

An idealistic tribune finds manhood in a brutal baptism of blood and slaughter.

A death-haunted Druid challenges the gods themselves to ensure victory for his people.

A conflicted young warrior finds himself torn between loyalties to tribe and to Rome.

An old champion struggles for everlasting glory in the final battle against the legions.

A pair of fiery princesses fight to salvage the pieces of their mother’s dream as the ravens circle.

A novel in seven parts, overlapping stories of warriors and peacemakers, queens and slaves, Romans and Britons who cross paths during Boudica’s epic rebellion. But who will survive to see the dawn of a new Britannia, and who will fall to feed the ravens?

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Text copyright 2015 by Ben Kane, Stephanie Dray, Ruth Downie, Russell Whitfield, Vicky Alvear Shecter, S.J.A. Turney, Kate Quinn, and E. Knight.

    The conquered, the voiceless, the enslaved, Celts, Druids, and Queen's Boudica's epic rebellion--hear them roar, whisper, grovel, dream, do battle, and more! Nuanced, deeply researched, and imaginative, these epic stories humanize the tribes of Britannia without demonizing the conquering Romans. A collaboratively authored book, these stories make vivid the tragedy of Queen Boudicca's reign and rebellion in 60-61 AD.

    It's a truly lovely telling of this incredible tale. I so enjoyed every emotion that came from each character and those who told it.
