- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I swear, Simon Vance could make a medical dictionary sound interesting. He is the best narrator I have ever listened to.This is the second book in the Druids series. (I will have to try and find the first one somewhere.) Ainvar and his tribe of Carnutes were chased out of Celtic Gaul by Julius Caesar and sailed west to settle in Hibernia (Ireland?) He is given land by the Gaels to settle but not all is as perfect as it seems.I found this book stunning and totally engrossing.
