Book Description

"This is the first major study of Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes tribe in Northern Britain in the first century AD. Little is known about the tribal ruler, who fought off rebellion and civil war and managed to keep her lands when many other British leaders were forfeiting theirs in the aftermath of the Roman conquest of AD 43. Her story is one of power, intrigue, scandal and accusations of betrayal and yet surprisingly she is a figure who is often overlooked and marginalised in studies of British history." "Nicki Howarth re-examines the story of a queen who ruled independently in such unsettled times, where a strong leader adapted to circumstance in order to survive. Indeed with Roman support she held her position as queen until AD 69, whilst managing to prosper in the new Imperial world that was reluctant to acknowledge her role." --Book Jacket.

ONE DECISION IS ENOUGH TO TEAR APART A NATION. In summer AD51, yet another battle is raging. The invaders are intent on turning the precious Isle of Albion into Roman Britannia. Caradoc, now with the Ordovicii, is determined to fight to protect the land and his gods. Eventually, with his people defeated, he flees to the queen of the Brigantes, hoping to find salvation. Queen Cartimandua has other ideas. Blinded by the wealth and power of the Romans, she will not listen to reason. She is determined to keep Caradoc in chains and hand him over to the Roman governor no matter how much her husband Venutius or her archdruid Galchobhar plead otherwise. The gods step in to guide Venutius, the only man who has a chance of defeating Cartimandua and stopping the Romans from taking over entirely, but this is going to take time and Venutius is running out of patience.

Some identify as witches, others identify as writers, musicians, game developers, or artists. What they have in common is that they've created personal rituals to summon their own power in a world that would prefer them powerless. Here, they share the rituals they use to resist self-doubt, grief, and depression in the face of sexism, slut shaming, racism, patriarchy, and other systems of oppression"--
