The Wolves of Caledonia: A Novel of Post Roman Britain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781969374128)

The only thing that makes the dying lights of civilization shine a little brighter is the reflection on blades of steel fighting the darkness. In the far north of the island of Britain, the legions of Rome have vanished, gone to fight in the wars of a disintegrating empire. In their stead rides the cavalry of Arthur, Tribune of the last Romano - British fighting unit that pledges their lives to no petty king, but to Britain as a whole.

Peredur of Gwenned has survived that most dangerous of times, a soldier's first encounter with combat, and now rides with ease and respect among his companions. Arthur, impressed by Peredure's courage and composure, sends him beyond the old Roman borders. His mission to accompany Arthur's counselor, Myrddin, and his protégé, Morgana, into the lands of Dal Riata on a diplomatic journey.

The situation in the Old North presents hazards at every turn, however. Surrounded by rival kingdoms, shifting loyalties, and enemies who are not always what they seem, Peredur discovers that words can be as lethal as open battle. Far from the safety of his unit and stripped of certainty, he is forced to confront the realities of leadership and the cost of responsibility in a land where Roman law no longer holds sway.

Along the way, the young soldier is drawn into a quiet, dangerous search for the Grail-an object bound to Rome's fading legacy and Britain's uncertain future, whose true nature is as elusive as the peace Arthur hopes to secure.

Book two of Into The Darkness, a tale of the unknown times when men turned into legends or get lost in the depths of time.
