Cet auteur explore les complexités de l'existence humaine à travers son écriture perspicace, se penchant souvent sur des thèmes de la Renaissance et ses courants intellectuels. Son œuvre se caractérise par une contemplation profonde de la vie et des choix que nous faisons, naviguant fréquemment entre le désespoir et l'espoir. Le style de l'auteur est à la fois métaphorique et narratif, issu d'un parcours personnel qui l'a mené de la peinture à l'écriture. À travers des récits captivants, il éclaire le pouvoir transformateur de l'art et de la décision personnelle.
A novel set in AD43 on the eve of the Roman invasion of Britain. After ten years being educated in Rome, Togidubnus of the Atrebates is sent back home, charged with convincing the Britons of the wisdom in submitting to the Empire. Trained in stoicism by Seneca himself, Togidubnus also thinks this is the wise course, until he is reunited with his people and homeland. This is a book about two worlds, Roman and Druid. Togidubnus is both. His journey across southern Britain leads him to sacred sanctuaries of the ancients, such as Bath, Avebury and White Horse Hill, and he becomes increasingly concerned about the fate of his people, their gods and spirits. As he struggles to keep the tribes out of the resistance being organized by the warlord Caratacus, he must reconcile opposing forces not only in the world but within himself.
