The Rise of Arthwys (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068610950)

The year is 446 AD. The beleaguered Britons have endured a debilitating plague and are surrounded by enemies. A shocking Saxon rebellion has been contained by King Vortimer but an entire province has been overrun and the south and west are now in danger. An appeal by the council of Britons to the Roman high command in Gaul has been ignored and hope seems lost. All that is left is a faith in God and an old prophecy that the Brigantes Bear will defeat the serpent in the east. Meanwhile in Gaul the Romans face conquest by the Huns and the empire teeters on the edge of destruction as city after city falls to the barbarians.

This is a story of devotion to God, to duty and to each other. History records the imperial palace intrigue and treachery but only legend tells of the bravery of the last generation that held the line against a gathering storm. facing impossible odds and enduring immense personal loss.
