The Cadno Coch Chronicles - Book One, The Hawk Ring
A trilogy of adult historical novels comprising the novels The Hawk Ring, The Serpent Wand and The Eagle Crown.
Whilst the main character Colen/Cadno Coch of all three novels is fictional, the stories that make up the volumes in the series are based upon and relate directly to a real historical sequence of events.
The Hawk Ring is set in 50 CE, when Cadno is aged 19 and beginning his druidic training, and is set amidst the British revolt against the Romans that was led by Caratacos (Caractacus).
The Serpent Wand is set in 60 to 61 CE, and its narrative is interwoven with the story of the British revolt led by Budduga (Boudicca) with Cadno well into his training and already a significant figure among the community of druids.
The third novel, The Eagle Crown, takes place in 84 CE, by which time Cadno has become a senior druid, and covers the period of the Roman advance into Scotland and the Battle of Mons Graupius.
