Roma Mater

Before there was an England, there was Roma Mater . . . Before King Arthur, there was the King of YS . . . In the wild and eldritch time between the fall of Rome and the rise of our own age, the kingdom of Ys was ruled by the magic of The Nine and the might of the king, their husband. How the Nine conspired with their gods to bring him to them, though he belonged to Mithras and to Rome, is only the beginning of an enchanted saga that weaves together Celtic myth with distant memories of Roman Britain - and adds a magic of its own.

Gallicenae

Set in the misty time between the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of our own age, Roma Mater chronicled the coming of Gratillonius, the Roman Prefect, who became a King. Book II, Gallicenae, is the story of his nine queens, and penetrates to the very heart of the legend.

Dahut

First came Roma Mater, the story of how the Roman soldier Gratillonius became a king. Next, Gallicenae, the story of the Nine Queens – the wives of the warrior-king. And now – Dahut, the daughter of the King of Ys.

The senile gods of Ys have decreed that Dahut must become a Queen of that Christ-cursed city while her father, the King, still lives. The King would rather fall upon his sword than consummate that evil pact, but the gods of Ys need him too much to allow him such an easy end…
