In 24 B.C. Guiamo Durmius Stolo establishes a remote estate to begin a new life with his bride Ernmas. Ethur and his two brothers share the high throne and rule Britain with an iron fist that extends even over the Druids. Their tyranny cannot be ignored and an alliance of tribes forms against them that threatens to shatter the kingdom.
Combining legitimate legends with actual historical events, Best weaves an epic story that portrays the ancient world as it might have been, a world which the ancient historians recorded as fact; a time when gods ruled the earth and strange creatures dominated the land. It is the era of civilized conquerors exploring distant and primitive new lands. Scant recordings left to us today only touch on the fringe of the fantastic and brutal reality that existed in those distant lands of the west. Into this age, Guiamo enters the world stage as the great game-changer, and by his hand the gods and beasts become destined to disappear into myth and legend.
