Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A FOE MORE FEARSOME THAN ROMANS! Simon of Gitta has journeyed to ancient Britannia to learn from the island's druids. There, he hears dark rumors of dragons rampaging across the countryside, smashing and scorching... but these are only rumors. A more pressing crisis arises when the Romans invade Britannia-again. At the Battle of the Medway River, the Britons manage to rout the Roman army, but at an enormous cost when their king is slain. Now the young new High King Pendragon must quickly secure his throne and defend his kingdom. Suddenly, at a secretive meeting of the Raven Druid and Eagle Druid colleges, the druids are slaughtered to the last man, trampled and burned, and the locals swear dragons are to blame. Alarmed, the High King sends the Merlin Druids (including Simon) to investigate-but, while an active war rages, he can only spare a handful of brave warriors to accompany them. Slowly, these impromptu investigators unravel a secret, complex conspiracy of Picts and Romans, rogue druids, and secret cults to unleash fiery spirit dragons on an unsuspecting country. With time quickly running out and the fate of all Britannia at stake, can a mere handful of druids and soldiers overcome such formidable enemies to thwart the nefarious plot unfolding around them? Or will Britannia burn? Dive into a world of ancient lore and mythical monsters in an epic adventure that will captivate readers to the last page.
