""Jess, a young teacher in London, is attacked by someone she fears knows her well. Fleeing to her sister's house in the Welsh borders to recuperate, she is disturbed by the cries of a mysterious child. Two thousand years before, the same valley is the site of a great battle between Caractacus, king of the mighty Catuvellauni tribe, and the invading Romans. The proud king is captured and taken as a prisoner to Rome with his wife and daughter, the princess Eigon. Jess is inexorably drawn to investigate Eigon's story, and as the Welsh cottage is no longer a peaceful sanctuary she determines to visit Rome. There lie the connections that will reveal Eigon's astonishing life--and which threaten to reawaken Jess's own tormentor"--Distributor's Website."
"Die Schicksale zweier Frauen, über die Jahrtausende untrennbar miteinander verbunden ... In einem einsamen Cottage in Wales wird die junge Lehrerin Jess von rätselhaften Träumen heimgesucht. Sie sieht Eigon, die Tochter des Keltenkönigs, die sich auf der Flucht vor dem grausamen Prätorianer Titus befindet. Jess spürt, dass ihr eigenes Schicksal auf unheilvolle Weise mit dem der Prinzessin verknüpft ist. Eine gefahrvolle Reise in die Vergangenheit beginnt. Britannien 52 n. Chr.: Die Schlacht ist verloren, die keltischen Krieger sind auf der Flucht, und so hört niemand die Schreie, als eine Gruppe kaltblütiger Römer Prinzessin Eigon und ihre Mutter überfallen. Als Geiseln gelangen die Frauen nach Rom, wo Eigons Peiniger Titus ihr fortan nach dem Leben trachtet. Unerwartet erhält sie Hilfe aus der Gegenwart, denn die junge Jess verfolgt in ihren Träumen das Schicksal der keltischen Prinzessin. Doch je tiefer Jess in Eigons Geschichte eintaucht, desto stärker gerät sie selbst in Gefahr: Ihr engster Freund Dan ist besessen von Titus' Geist und bedroht in seinem Wahnsinn ihr Leben. Jahrtausende trennen die beiden Frauen, aber nur wenn sie die Grenzen der Zeit überwinden, können sie sich gemeinsam gegen ihre Feinde stellen. Ihr Weg führt sie zurück nach Wales, wo es auf einem antiken Schlachtfeld zu einem letzten entscheidenden Kampf kommt. Packend, leidenschaftlich und exzellent recherchiert."
