Description
Gaul, 6 A.D. Phelan has played many a part in his twenty-six year old life: son, slave, bard, warrior, chief. Today, charged with the lead of the village Abhan, he lacks time for tunes to string and skirts to chase. But he tries. The revolt planned by his former lover Cornelis and the village's druid Raghnall, left Abhan in tatters. But Raghnall died and Cornelis ran off with Roman Optio Marcus Aurelius. Which left Phelan to pick up the pieces. With the aid of his friends, Myra, his fellow chieftain and her daughter Phyllis, who guards the healer school Mesmer, he has managed to lift the trade ban the Romans imposed on Abhan. Today, Phelan tries to navigate trade deals with his former owner Nolan and his increasingly less innocent fling with Phyllis. Both can place claims on him he isn't willing to meet. Will Nolan manage to respect his current status as Abhan's chief? And will Phyllis, a powerful Wiccen with a gang of soldiers under her command, accept that not every battle is handled with a fight?
