Songs of the Celtic Heroes is an epic journey through the fires, forests, and frontiers of the ancient world—where courage was a creed, freedom a birthright, and legends were forged in defiance of empire. From the Gaulish warlord Brennus , who once set Rome ablaze, to Britain’s first great defender Cassivellaunus ; from the elusive rebel-king Ambiorix , scourge of Caesar’s legions, to the unifier of Gaul Vercingetorix , whose stand at Alesia became the stuff of eternal myth—these are the voices of a people who would not bow. Here too rise the kings and queens of Britain and Ireland: Cunobelinus , the golden ruler whose peace illuminated a nation; Caratacus , the last free Briton who faced Rome with unbroken pride; Boudicca , the warrior-queen whose wrath nearly shattered an empire; and Niall of the Nine Hostages , whose shadow stretched across seas and centuries. Told in vivid, sweeping prose, Songs of the Celtic Heroes resurrects the warriors, kings, queens, and rebels who shaped the dawn of Europe—those who stood against impossible odds, whose defeats became triumphs of the spirit, and whose stories still echo in the winds of the Isles. A tapestry of myth and history, battle and destiny, this collection is both tribute and resurrection: a reminder that even in the face of empire, the heart of a people cannot be conquered.
