Industry Reviews
"Bragg's stately, seething, passionate epic is several cuts above modern attempts at historical fiction....The research is thorough and the erudition lightly worn, but it is the relationship between Bega and the fictional Padric--driven apart by their separate missions to build a Christian, Teuton-free Britain--and that gives this novel its poignancy and power. If you do not blub at the end, you have no heart."
Saunders
"Serio-escapist fiction void of bodice-ripping, free of cliches, clean-limbed in style: a rich and powerful plunge into the dark ages."
