The magnificent, heart-rending final novel of the world's most famous warrior queen.
Manda Scott began writing while still a veterinary surgeon. Her
first novel, a contemporary crime thriller, Hen's Teeth was
shortlisted for the Orange Prize. Subsequent thrillers are Night
Mares, Stronger than Death and No Good Deed, for which she was
hailed by the Times as'one of Britain's most important crime
writers'.
Having served her writing apprenticeship, she went back in time to
write the Boudica series, of which the first three books, Dreaming
the Eagle, Dreaming the Bull and Dreaming the Hound , are also
available in Bantam paperback.
Along the way, she has moved from the lands of the Eceni (Norfolk)
to the lands of the Silures (Shropshire) , where she lives with her
partner, her lurcher and not nearly enough cats. She teaches
shamanic dreaming courses based on the ethos described in the
books, insofar as it may reasonably be applied to contemporary
living. For more details of the courses, the books and other
events, please visit www.mandascott.co.uk
