Translated into over a dozen languages, this international Best-seller tells the extraordinary, resounding story of Britain’s ‘warrior queen’, the woman who remains one of the great female icons – to read it is to discover our history, to learn about ourselves and our heritage. Gloriously imagined, Boudica: Dreaming the Eagle recreates the beginnings of a story so powerful its impact has survived through the ages, recounting the journey to adulthood of Breaca, who at twelve kills her first warrior, and her sensitive, skilful half-brother Ban, who carries with him a vision of the future that haunts his waking hours. Above all, it is a world of passion and courage and spectacular, heart-felt heroism pitched against overwhelming odds. The Boudica book series by Manda Scott includes books Dreaming the Eagle, Dreaming the Bull, Dreaming the Hound, and several more. I had a career as a thriller writer, but the Boudica books were sitting. Email was on dial up, and we waited until midnight to dial in because the lines were engaged during the day. There were no electronic versions then, no Facebook, no Twitter. In the company of a supreme storyteller, the reader is plunged into the unforgettable world of tribal Britain in the years before the Romans came: a twilight world of Dreamers and the magic of the gods a world where horses and dogs and the landscape itself become characters in their own right where warriors fight for honour as much as victory. June 2015 marked fifteen years since Dreaming the Eagle was first published.
