Druids Josh Langston 1er édition

For 500 years, Europe was ruled by the Celts, a powerful race who believed acts of nature were omens of the gods, where nobility was earned and where honor was valued above life. The most revered were the Druids: bards, healers, judges, and seers. A special few protected the secrets of ancient Earth magic.   Rhonwen, a passionate young healer, must forge a path through a land being ravaged by the war with Rome. Haunted by an oath of vengeance, she struggles against betrayal and gambles her life on an arcane healing magic from distant Gaul.   Mallec flees from his ferocious warrior tribe to become a scholar at the great center of druidic learning. His training fails him when he discovers an ancient rite for immortality. Once mastered, he must protect the knowledge from those who thirst for its power and are bent on his destruction.   Celt against Roman ? two civilizations larger than the continent they share. One must yield forever. Can druid magic endure the onslaught of Roman legions? Can the wisdom of nature survive Rome's lust for conquest? Who are the barbarians in a world where power and ambition mean more than honor and sacrifice?
