Set in Roman Britain, a sweeping historical epic of love, honour and the fight for freedom from an exciting new talent.
AD 79. Agricola, the ruthless governor of Roman Britain, has just subdued the Welsh. Now he has turned to the last unconquered territory in Britain - Alba, Scotland.
For Rhiann, an Alban priestess and princess, the threat of invasion changes her life irrevocably. The King, her uncle, has no heir, and it is her duty to submit to a political marriage. But she is emotionally scarred from a terrible trauma, and can imagine nothing worse than matrimony. Desperately, she looks for a way out, but sees only the Romans closing in.
Into this volatile situation sails an Irish prince, Eremon, exiled from his home by family treachery. His aim is to win renown and regain his throne, but first he has to deal with an unexpected alliance, prove himself a military leader, and unite the feuding tribes of his adopted country.
Against this backdrop of looming war, Rhiann finds herself embarking on an unexpected journey of love and loss that will reveal the true purpose of her life.
In the grand tradition of the historical epic, 'The White Mare' is a tale of heroic deeds, of kinship and kingship, and the struggle for power, honour, freedom and love.
