Synopsis

Tros’s fabulous exploits make allies and enemies of shadowy figures unrecorded in the pages of history- Gwenhwyfar, treacherous and ambitious, ready to offer Tros her most treasured possession herself; Caswallon, Lord of the Trinobantes, fearless of all men save the Druids; Fflur of the Second Sight, whose clear grey eyes see far more than what is before them; and always in the background, Caesar, the arch enemy, mighty ruler of much of the world, Tros’s unrelenting foe.
