Book Description: Vercingetorix, the great Gallic warrior, was both a man of history and a man of myth. Druid King of Gaul, King of One Hundred Battles, he was among Julius Caesar s greatest opponents; his eventual defeat at Caesar s hands was said to prove Caesar s unstoppable power. Yet Vercingetorix has remained, to this day, a French national hero. And now he is the heart and soul of this enthralling and evocative historical novel.Witness to his father s harrowing death, Vercingetorix spends years deep in the forest living with the druids. Although they raise him as one of their own, his father s honor and the looming shadow of Rome force him to become a warrior. After an ill fated alliance with Caesar, he gathers the tribes of Gaul against law and custom into a single army, ragtag but determined to face down the might of the Romans. This dramatic and momentous life, played against a brilliantly created background of the disparate worlds of Gallic and Roman soldiers, is riveting. The final battle that pits Vercingetorix s will against Caesar s own rounds out a novel that richly traces the arc of a hero s life and the origin of a legend.
