Roman governor Agricola expects an easy victory against the unorganized tribes of Alba (modern-day Scotland). But a Celtic leader has appeared: Eremon, exiled son of Irish king Ferdiad. With the help of his recent bride, princess Rhiann, Eremon prepares to defend Alba against Agricola's crack troops. Husband and wife must overcome years of tribal rivalry and the powerful jealousies of enemies like Maelchon, king of the Orcades islands and Rhiann's rejected suitor; the scheming druid Gelert; and former priestess Samana, who hopes to manipulate Agricola with sex in order to gain a rich Roman household in the empire.
