Overview
A sweeping historic tale of a half-Roman, half-Briton scout known as Marcus to his Roman friends and colleagues, and Uffin to his mother and family. Speaking both Latin and Brittonic, Marcus travels freely north of Hadrian's Wall, trading with tribes-folk but reporting to his Roman masters.During one such trip, he is mistakenly accused of murdering his commanding officer and sentenced to serve his life out in the lead mines. Escaping with a female slave and aided by a highly respected Druid, Marcus crosses the Wall and hides among the many tribes beyond the yoke of Rome.Back at Housesteads, the large Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall, troops are gathering for an incursion north. The magnificent 9th Legion is proposing to teach these unruly tribes a lesson in submission.The Druids present Marcus Uffin as their figurehead to lead the tribes while the might of Rome marches to subjugate this ragtag collection of primitives.Or, perhaps, there is a different lesson to be learned.A discussion guide is included in this book.
