Jesus Christ, what's a girl gotta do to get some plot around here?įinal update (thank god) 3/19/13: What a disappointing, uninteresting waste of time. Update 3/11/13: More than halfway through and STILL nothing happening. I'm a third of the way through and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET. The two cousins could not be more different, but their parallel stories encapsulate the era of a new civilization struggling to be born. Thoughtful Cadogan saves a group of citizens when Saxons invade and burn Viroconium, then becomes the reluctant founder and leader of a new community that rises in the wilderness. Passionate, adventurous Dinas recruits followers and dreams of kingship. As Britannia falls into anarchy and the city of Viroconium is left undefended, two cousins who remained behind when the imperial forces withdrew pursue very different courses in the ensuing struggle to unite the disparate tribes and factions throughout the land. Anarchy rules in Britannia as the Roman Empire collapses,Īnd two men fight to build stable lives among the chaos.Īfter more than four hundred years of Roman rule, the island its conquerors called Britannia was abandoned-left to its own devices as the Roman empire contracted in a futile effort to defend itself from the barbarian hordes encroaching upon its heart.
