The Dominic Chronicles #7
Shadow Paths (Historical Fiction Action Adventure, set in Dark Age post Roman Britain)
Rome's protection has been withdrawn.
Britain’s underbelly is exposed.
Eochaid Mugmedón, the Hibernian king of Caisleán Ó Liatháin, has sent an attacking force to western Britannia. Determined to see his infirm son, Niall, become the king of Dyfed and the surrounding lands, Eochaid has already sewn the seeds of conquest. Diarmait has been removed from Abergwaun, Arthur’s alliance weakened, a bargain having been brokered between Eochaid and Arthur’s Votadinian allies.
Preoccupied with the resurgent Saxon threat near Brythonfort, Arthur steps back from the Hibernian problem, thus giving Eochaid the time he needs consolidate his advantage.
Dominic and Augustus, having travelled north with some old friends to buy earthenware, hear troubling news of the turbulence smothering the newly occupied lands. Honest men tell them of hidden valleys and missing patrols, prompting them to view the siege of Abergwaun with their own eyes. Unwilling to stand by and watch the land fall into lawlessness, Augustus comes up with the glimmer of a solution. Days later, the company is fragmented, a new crisis forcing them to part, the burden of rescue and deliverance upon them.
Shadow Lands. Book seven of the Dominic Saga. A multifaceted Dark Age tale of intrigue and brutal warfare.
