The Dawn Stag

AD 81. Agricola, the ruthless governor of Roman Britain is intent on capturing the last unconquered territory in Britain - Alba, Scotland.

Rhiann is an Alban priestess and princess who submitted to a political marriage to Eremon, an exiled Irish prince. But out of grew love, a powerful and desperate love that will bind them together through conflict and betrayal.

The predestined day draws near: the armies of Alba and Rome will meet in an epic battle to decide the fate of a country.

About the Author

Jules Watson was born in Australian, after her parents emigrated from England. She grew up in Perth, surrounded by beaches, desert, blue water, and flies. She met her husband Alistair at high school (he ferried her home on the handlebars of his bike), and gained college degrees in archaeology and public relations. Jules' early occupations involved working as a checkout chick for KMart, cocktail waitress, PA, mine worker, archaeologist, PR consultant, freelance writer — and author! Her most bizarre job was driving 50-ton tip trucks through an open gold mine on the edge of the Western Desert. Very, very hot. The best job she had before she was an author was Digging up a Roman army fort in Germany. Very, very cold.
