The scene is the frowning granite walls of Pevensey Castle, in the southeast of Britain, some time in the fourth century of our Christian era. This is the story of Brennus, and his long journey from the tramp and clash of the Roman legions, by way of many adventures and a lost love, to the dusty silence of Africa and the spiritual high ground of sainthood. C L Fowler writes in the honoured tradition of such great historical novelists as Robert Graves and Mary Renault, and he vividly evokes the long-forgotten sights and sounds of the ancient world; a world which, by a triumph of imagination, he brings to vivid, tumultuous life.
