Dreaming the Eagle

The second book of Scott's stunning epic saga about the warrior queen Boudica--the only native British leader to command a successful revolt against the invading Roman army--sweeps readers into a magical world brimming with adventure, passion, and mystery.

Manda Scott is a veterinary surgeon, writer and climber, not necessarily in that order. Born and educated in Scotland, she trained at the Glasgow Vet School and now lives and works in Suffolk, sharing her life with two lurchers and other assorted wildlife. She is known primarily as a crime writer. Her first novel, Hen’s Teeth, was shortlisted for the 1997 Orange Prize. The Boudica series are her first historical novels. They are, she says, the books she was born to write.
