Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A bit strange but enjoyable ( ) Really impressive historical-fantasy epic. Has a very tragic feel to it, what with the setting up of the two opposing characters. Had this one on my shelf for ages, so I note that the trilogy the backflap spoke of turned into a quadrilogy (quartet?). Will have to try and get the others from the library (support your local library, because it'll support you!). It's that rare thing, ladies and gentleman: a five-star review!

Boudica means Bringer of Victory. She is the last defender of the Celtic culture in Britain; the only woman openly to lead her warriors into battle and to stand successfully against the might of Imperial Rome and triumph. It is 33 AD and eleven-year-old Breaca (later named Boudica), the red-haired daughter of one of the leaders of the Eceni tribe, is on the cusp between girl and womanhood. She longs to be a Dreamer, a mystical leader who can foretell the future, but having killed the man who has attacked and killed her mother, she has proven herself a warrior.
