More DescriptionAs the Roman's close in on the Druid Circle, Yseult must find and bring the chosen ones to save Ea, the sacred tree whose destruction would bring about a magical apocalypse. But will Yseult be able to dodge Roman patrols and her own heart's yearnings to bring the chosen ones to Mona in time?In 60 CE, Roman governor of Britain, Suetonius Paulinus, marched the majority of the legionary force stationed in that province to the Isle of Mona, headquarters of the Druidic order since time immemorial. Once there, he laid waste everything on the island, cut down the sacred groves and burned the virgin forest to the ground. With scarce time for anyone to celebrate the dissolution of thousands of years of tradition, he received word of the Iceni revolt in East Britain, centered around Queen Boudica. The island was abandoned a smoking ruin and only garrisoned years later by a different Roman force.This is history. What Governor Paulinus did not know is that the Druids guarded an older secret, a power to be preserved at all costs. Ea, the Worlds Tree. That the Romans would destroy the Sacred Isle was fated. But the Druids knew through the prophecy of the Wren that they must do anything to preserve Ea's power. Even resorting to human sacrifice. The question becomes, did they succeed?Yseult is the Wren's apprentice, sent out to find candidates for the sacrifice. Dunham and Evelyn offer her hospitality as she passes through their hunting grounds. Can they be the fated two who might embody the mysterious power of the Tree? She must find out. But her method of testing is not as...conventional as her mentor may have expected. Faster, fortunately, as they're running out of time to make it to the sacred island.
