Description

After the king of the Iceni tribe dies, the Romans follow their standard policy: annex the Iceni kingdom into their empire. When queen Boudicca protests, she is dismissed. When she demands justice, she is imprisoned and raped. After promising to submit to Roman rule, she is released. After all, what could a woman do to challenge the Roman rule of Britain?

Boudicca, however, would not submit. In her fury, she assembled an army, destroyed Roman cities and demolished an entire Roman legion. Finally, in 61 AD, she gathered her nation for a final battle to drive the invaders into the sea. In spite of being heavily outnumbered, Rome won the battle, and Boudicca, refusing to be taken captive again, drank poison and died on the battlefield.

In Draegnstoen, her iron-willed determination carries down through the ages; through fifteen generations of her descendents who share the dream of expelling Rome. Finally, the confluence of fate and chance fires the hopes of Coel, a prince of Ebrauc. Determined to fulfill his ancestor's dream, he assembles a tenuous alliance of northern kingdoms.

In the midst of treachery, tragedy, shifting alliances and with help from the Picts in the north, Coel finally rallies the people to fight one last great battle to decide the history of the land.
