Synopsis

In the aftermath of the devastating barbarian invasions which came to be known as the Barbarica Conspiratio there are: · A soldier searching for a fortune in looted gold which a dying man told him lies hidden beneath the waters of a lake on the far side of the Great Marshes, many miles to the south of the Cotswold Hills where the story begins. · A young priestess searching for a man who mysteriously disappeared a year before, hoping that by finding him she will restore her faith in the goddess she thought was protecting him. · A small brass figurine of the sinister underworld goddess Hecate. And linking all three is a story said to have begun with a girl picking flowers in a meadow in Sicily on a summer's day long, long ago when the Ancient World was young. The Sower of the Seeds of Dreams is set in those parts of the Roman province of Britannia Prima which were later to become Gloucestershire and Somerset. It is a stand-alone sequel to The Moon on the Hills (Matador 2009).

About this title

About the Author:

Bill Page has had a lifelong interest in Roman Britain, particularly the villas and settlements of the Cotswold Hills. He lives in South Worcestershire, within sight of the northern end of the Cotswolds where the novel begins and ends.

Review:

'An exciting romp of an adventure... Bill Page has created characters that are so real he could almost be writing a biography... He knows his history and knows how to write. This is the standard of self-publishing that all independent authors should aim at. Lovers of Roman British novels, make sure you don't miss this thoroughly enjoyable read!' -- Helen Hollick
