This evocative & atmospheric novel doesn't seem to feature on Litsy which is a huge shame as it's a really fabulous read. Set in ancient Albion it continues the story of Ailia (begun in 'Skin') and the free tribes' defence of their land against Roman invaders. The time period is evoked so vividly & the lore & rituals have a magical & dream-like quality. The ending is poignant and Ailia's final song is powerful & moving. Quality stuff.
