Jahna and Lovern's clan lay in the Romans' path of destruction. The death of their people is a certainty, unless a bargain is made with the Gods, even if it means a human sacrifice. Will the trade the Druid Lovern, and his visionary wife, Jahna make with the Gods, save their family?
Two centuries later, Aine MacRae is on their trail. She's a struggling archaeologist, on the verge of uncovering the village were Jahna and Lovern lived.

I was in the mandatory evacuation area for the Goleta, Ca Gap Fire. I got my backup hard disk and computer in the car and skeedadled. (Oops, where are those darned cats?) Anyway, with the not sleeping and constantly online to see if my house burned, I didn't get the extra chapters recorded I had planned. We are back in and all is hunkdorey, except I am experiencing random blackouts. I hope to be back on a good schedule soon. So, my cat did not eat my mouse, I am experiencing technical difficulties in getting the last and the next few chapters uploaded. I hope I am forgiven in the world of Podiobooks.

I have reread and uploaded the first two chapters. I hope they sound better. I will continue to make changes. I hope you all enjoy this book. ArleneBy: Arlene Radasky
Barry, I am glad you like the story, and hope you continue listening. The first chapters may have been a bit rough. I hope to reread them and repost them when I am done. I may even add a few sound effects. One thing that you may not have picked up on and makes the ancient voices sound strained, is that there are no contractions in the writing, and should not be any in the reading. That is the way that part of the story came to me. The modern section has contractions.
