About This Book

Journey back through the mists of time and legend to a people ruled by a flamehaired woman-child, Boudicca, destined to serve the Mare Goddess, Epona: a Goddess both cruel and demanding. How can Boudicca resist a man such as Huan, when her body responds to his touch with a hunger that dazes her? But if the sacred rites are not observed, disaster will surely befall the People of the Horse. As the might of Rome encroaches on their lives it seems that not even Rhiannon, the sacred child of Boudicca, can save the land of Britain. If the Druids on the Isle of Mona are destroyed, the very foundations of this ancient civilisation will crumble. Can Boudicca, under the protection of the Goddess lead her warriors against the legions of Rome? Or will the People of the Horse suffer appalling atrocities and become slaves to Nero and Claudius? So the Legend begins... THE PEOPLE OF THE HORSE is an awesome and magical epic about one woman who led her people to battle against the might of the Roman Empire. This powerful novel of forbidden loves and perverted desires, courageous deeds and profound mysteries is a timeless tale of myth and legend that will leave you both breathless and stunned. .
