In the shadow of Rome's relentless advance, two women rise from the misted lands of Britannia-one destined to rule, the other chosen by the gods.
Boudicca, daughter of the Iceni, comes of age amid shifting alliances and the tightening grip of an empire that demands submission. Fierce, intelligent, and bound to her people's traditions, she must navigate a world where loyalty to kin collides with Rome's hunger for dominion.
Far to the west, the young seer Luwena undergoes a waking dream that will mark her forever as Dolefren, vessel of the goddesses Andraste and Carthwyn. Sent to the sacred isle of Môn to be trained as a priestess, she walks the liminal path between mortal and divine, a bridge between the living and the voices of the ancestors.
As kings fall, tribes fracture, and the Iceni crown passes to Boudicca and her husband Prasutagus, fate begins to weave their lives together. Through visions, omens, and blood-bound vows, Dolefren and Boudicca's paths entwine, drawing them toward a reckoning that will shake both empire and earth.
Rooted in the history of Britannia yet alive with myth and spirit, this is a story of rebellion and prophecy, of women who carried fire against Rome-and of the gods who walked beside them.
