The date is 400 BC. Britain is a patchwork of tribes and kingdoms, united half a century ago by Dumnoualos of Dumnonia, whose armies brought peace to a land torn apart by war. But now the High King is dead, and he leaves two sons, Brenos and Belinos, who are both supported by rival tribal factions. Regardless of their own wishes, one of the brothers is destined to be High King, the other to be banished. And yet his deeds in exile will resound down the centuries, when the savage Celtic tribes burst down from the Alps to sack the nascent city-state of Rome.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Gavin Chappell was born in northern England and lives near Liverpool. After graduating from the University of Wales, he has since worked variously as a business analyst and a college lecturer, and writes in his spare time. Fascinated from an early age by the history and myths of the Celts, he wrote Celtic Dawn to give the Celts a more positive image than they have traditionally received in historical fiction. His short stories and translations of Old Icelandic sagas and Anglo-Saxon poetry have been published on the Internet.
