About this listen
Scottish Highlands, 367 A.D.
In a land of mystery and enchantment…
In an age of Celtic gods, Highland warlords, Roman legions, and powerful druids…
A young Pictish healer finds herself embroiled in an epic struggle between gods and men.
The Celtic tribes of Scotland and Ireland conspire to assault Hadrian’s Wall and drive the Romans out of Britain forever. But in order for the warriors to achieve victory in the military campaign, the druids must first gain ascendancy over the new Roman god.
Amid clandestine preparations for war, Flora is yanked out of her peaceful, ordinary world and thrust into a spiritual battle of mythic proportions. In order to save her family, her clan, and her people, she is called upon to sacrifice not only her life, but her very identity.
Feeling trapped in a web of manipulation and deceit, Flora struggles to discover the true reality of who she is and who she will become.
Set in the Scottish Highlands, this story brings to life an age and a people that have remained veiled in the mists of time—the mysterious people knowns as the Picts—a collection of tribes so determined to retain their freedom, they dared to defy the mightiest army the ancient world had ever known.
Escape into a forgotten world where gods still walk among men, where identity and sacrifice intertwine, and where one woman's decision will echo through the ages.
©2021 Telikos Publishing, LLC (P)2025 Telikos Publishing, LLCI didnt want the book to stop after Id merged into the main character, her physical environment and the pagan culture of our historic Pictish people of Alba and the Druids in the time of Roman invasion.
Fine detail and epic vision based on historical fact and immense research of the life culture and people in these powerfull places, some of which still exist to this day along with the physical relics, stories, traditions and records.
Its enough to compell many to not only seek out and visit these actual places but also to seek out meaning and purpose for themselves in their own soul and think eternally. We can take nothing with us there except who and Whos we really are!
A master piece which should be made into film!

I was keen to listen to this story as anything set in my country captures my interest. To be honest this was hard to get into however I am glad I persevered.
Very well written and descriptive which was done with care. Evidence that a lot of research went into the historic and geographic element. The language used has modern terminology which I think has been done in such a way for the reader to relate to current social context.
The narrator was superb and must give credit even though I thought the Ayrshire accent sounded more Irish lol.
Enjoyable and thought-provoking book worth a read.
