This is a heart-stopping story of war and of peace of love, passion and betrayal of druids and gods in a world where each life is sacred but each death even more so. While in distant Rome, the Emperor Claudius holds the balance of lives in their hands. Caught between them are two children, son and daughter to two of the greatest warriors their world has ever seen.

In AD 60, Boudica, war leader of the Eceni, led her people in a final bloody revolt against the occupying armies of Rome - the culmination of nearly twenty years of resistance against an occupying force that sought to crush the vibrant native civilisation of our island home.DREAMING THE BULL continues the story of Breaca - now hailed Boudica, the Bringer of Victory, and her half-brother, Ban, now an officer in the Roman auxiliary cavalry.
