Description

As druids in Celtic Gaul, they had been the harmonious soul of their tribe. But when Julius Caesar and his army invaded and conquered their homeland, the great druid Ainvar and his clan fled for their lives, taking with them the ancient knowledge. Guided by a strange destiny, they found themselves drawn to a green island at the very rim of the world: Hibernia, home of the Gael.

I swear, Simon Vance could make a medical dictionary sound interesting. He is the best narrator I have ever listened to.

This is the second book in the Druids series. (I will have to try and find the first one somewhere.)

Ainvar and his tribe of Carnutes were chased out of Celtic Gaul by Julius

Caesar and sailed west to settle in Hibernia (Ireland?) He is given land by the Gaels to settle but not all is as perfect as it seems.

I found this book stunning and totally engrossing.
