    • 5/5
      The whole historical fantasy spans three centuries and covers settling of West Scotland, known as Dalriada, the Alban resistance to Agricola's invasion with the warlord Eremon, and Pictish king, Calgacus, uniting tribes to resist the Romans. The 3rd volume takes place right before the Roman final abandonment of the island and we follow descendants of Eremon and his wife Rhiann, a seer and prophetess. Fascinating to follow this story. Strong characters and very good battle scenes, but so much portrayal of graphic sex in the first two volumes spoiled my complete enjoyment.This novel can be read as a standalone. Highly recommended.
    • 5/5
      I was worried at first that the disconnect of hundreds of years would make this last in the trilogy more difficult to love. But as soon as the plot tied the story to that of Rhiann/Eremon, I loved it every bit as much. While the characters were not as detailed, and therefor harder to become as attached to, the end of a tale that began centuries before made up for it.
