Publisher's Summary

Dreaming the Serpent Spear is the magnificent final story of the world’s most famous warrior queen in in Manda Scott’s best-selling Boudica series.

Britannia, AD 60: the tribes of Britannia are ready to seek bloody vengeance. Twenty thousand warriors are poised to reclaim their land from their captors.

Now is their chance: the Roman governor has marched his legions west, leaving his capital and a vital port undefended. There is no going back.

But to crush her enemies for all time, the Boudica must do more than lead her army in the greatest rebellion Britain has ever known. She must find healing for herself, for the land - and for Graine, her eight-year-old daughter.

Colchester is burning. London has been destroyed. Amidst fire and bloody revolution, the Boudica and those around her must fight to keep what matters most - now and for all time.

Completely absorbing

From the opening of the first book in the series to the end of the author’s note in the last book, there has been time when I was able to be immersed in this exquisitely created and beautifully narrated story, and time when I was itching to get back to it. I often listened into the not-so-early hours of the morning. It has given me a deeper appreciation of historical fiction and audiobooks, and now I must look deeper into dreaming.

Boudica what a story

The use ofore than one narrator was really easy to listen to. And again the Boudica story was incredible. I am also a dreamer so really enjoyed the mystical aspect of the stories. A masterpiece
