Synopsis
Insubrecus is reunited with his comrade, Agrippa, and sent by Caesar to reconnoiter a route for the Roman army to march against, Galba, the self-styled High King of the Belgians. When he arrives at the Belgian town of Bibrax, he is confronted by an embassy from the mysterious isle of Britannia. A tribe calling themselves the Eceni led by their warrior princess, Boudica, seek an alliance with Caesar. Before the Roman army arrives at Bibrax, Insubrecus, Agrippa and their new allies, the Eceni, are faced with Galba's Belgian horde who are determined to destroy Bibrax and slaughter its defenders before the Roman army can come to its aid.

A bone-chilling shriek filled the air.
Everything seemed to stop. Even the brigands froze on the river.
I looked back toward the mast.
Evra was standing on the platform. Her black robes billowing out toward our enemies in waving tendrils, her hair standing out from her skull, her face a corpse-like white, her mouth a round black hole, her eyes glaring dark fires!
She held her arms out toward the brigands. There was something in her hands.
Stones!
A black stone and a white!
Her shriek ended. She smashed the stones together toward our enemies. They seemed to spark!
She began to chant in her strange native tongue. The words seemed to be in my head without entering through my ears. They dominated my senses. I could not look away.
I understood nothing except this was a maledictio, a curse from the stygian pits of her dark god, Danu.
