In AD 60, Boudica, war leader of the Eceni, led her people in a final bloody revolt against the occupying armies of Rome. It was the culmination of nearly twenty years of resistance against an occupying force that sought to crush a vibrant, complex civilization and replace it with the laws, taxes and slavery of the Roman Empire. Gloriously imagined, Boudica: Dreaming the Eagle recreates the beginnings of a story so powerful its impact has survived through the ages, recounting the coming of age of Breaca, who at twelve kills her first warrior. This is the unforgettable world of tribal Britain in the years before the Romans came: a twilight world of Dreamers and the magic of the gods; a world where warriors fight for honour as much as victory. It is a world of passion and courage and spectacular, heart-felt heroism pitched against overwhelming odds.©2003 Manda Scott (P)2020 Bolinda Publishing Alternate History Historical Fiction Science Fiction Heartfelt

I barely knew anything about her but wished to know more, though it's lost to history and this is fiction. I felt like I was in the village and saw everything happening. I really enjoyed the various readers and the writing was wonderful.

Quite a journey

I really enjoyed the narrators. The story was on my mind whenever I was away from it. I couldn't wait to pick it up again as soon as time allowed.

So many ancestral memories came flooding back to me while listening to this book. We got it to be a book club book for my sister, mom and I. By the time I had finished (a month, taking it in slowly and savoring), my mom had listened 3 times and compiled a notebook of notes about the tribes, foreshadowing, rituals… we are in love and in awe of the talent of Manda Scott AND the WILDLY TALENTED narrators featured within. Good show. A billion stars.

Think if game of thrones was a gay slappin, historical fan fic with epic poetry and would make you sound smart, you have the essence of the story. A slow build but a great read overall and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Great fan fic!

This book takes it’s time, and is subtle. The world and sense of morality and emotion conveyed is stunning. All the characters are complex and most of them are quite lovable.

!!!!! An instant favorite
