Description Dreaming the Eagle (Boudica #1) by Manda Scott (Goodreads Author) 4.06 of 5 stars 4.06 · rating details · 2,288 ratings · 188 reviews 23 She is Breaca nic Graine, born to the Eceni, a tribe of dreamers and hunters, storytellers and artisans—men and women in whose lives the real and the fantastical exist side by side. As Breaca proves her brilliance in battle, she is catapulted to the forefront of her tribe, who will rename the copper-haired warrior Boudica (“She Who Brings Victory”). Many will share in Breaca’s extraordinary destiny: the beloved father who always knew she was destined for greatness . . . the famed warrior whose love for her is rivaled only by his hatred for their shared enemy . . . the lost brother whose name will become her battle cry. . . . Now, as violence and treachery threaten a fragile peace, Breaca will once again be called to battle. And for the young queen, for the clashing native tribes she must unite, and for the spirits that live among them, a war for survival has only just begun.  .Novelist, columnist and broadcaster MC Scott (aka Manda Scott) trained as a veterinary surgeon in Glasgow and worked at the Universities of Cambridge and Dublin, specialising in anaesthesia. A brief three year stint as a Director of the computer games company, Frontier Developments (Elite, Frontier First Encounter, Wallace and Gromit; Elite: Dangerous) bridged the gap from veterinary medicine to writing. Her novels have been short listed for an Orange Prize, nominated for an Edgar Award and translated into over twenty languages. She was a long term columnist for the Glasgow Herald, is a reviewer for the Independent and has contributed to the Telegraph, Times, Daily Express and BBC History Magazine. She has appeared on Time Team as an expert on the Boudican era and contributed to Radios 4 & 5. She is honoured to be Founder and current Chair of the HWA and looks forward to the association's continued growth. When not writing, or writing about writing, (or blogging, facebooking and tweeting about writing), she competes at canine agility and teaches shamanic dreaming courses and, of course, the occasional Arvon week somewhere beautiful in the UK countryside. Her latest novel is Rome: The Art of War. In preparation is a dual timeline novel of Jeanne d'Arc which lifts the lid on centuries of spin: whatever & whoever else she was, she absolutely wasn't a peasant girl who happened to get on a horse and found she could carry a lance.
