About this listen

Dreaming the Serpent Spear is the magnificent final story of the world’s most famous warrior queen in in Manda Scott’s best-selling Boudica series.

Britannia, AD 60: the tribes of Britannia are ready to seek bloody vengeance. Twenty thousand warriors are poised to reclaim their land from their captors.

Now is their chance: the Roman governor has marched his legions west, leaving his capital and a vital port undefended. There is no going back.

But to crush her enemies for all time, the Boudica must do more than lead her army in the greatest rebellion Britain has ever known. She must find healing for herself, for the land - and for Graine, her eight-year-old daughter.

Colchester is burning. London has been destroyed. Amidst fire and bloody revolution, the Boudica and those around her must fight to keep what matters most - now and for all time.

"A powerful novel, alive with the love, deceit, wisdom and the heroics of humanity." (Jean M. Auel)

Loved this series

I think Manda Scott and her team have researched and written a very engaging account of this period. The audiobook narrators have brought the characters alive and have contributed to a very enjoyable and satisfying experience. Thank you.

Fantastic storylines

A brilliant set of books! I haven't enjoyed a historical fiction as much as this one in a very long time. I would highly recommend.

A Fitting Finale

Oh my goodness, I did NOT want this book to end but it was a great and emotional final instalment in a brilliant series. Beautifully read, as always, and thank you Manda Scott for bringing this period in history so alive and for introducing me to the concept of dreaming. Wonderful!

Excellent

So wonderfully written. Descriptions are so vivid and clever, using onomatopoeia, makes the reader easily image the scene and go into it (as in the dreaming Manda Scott describes)

The subject and interest a different view of the world

I loved the incite into dreaming, how minds can be linked, through family's, not necessarily blood family. How the story of Roman invasion and people's need to take and not share is as old as time.

A worthy end to a fantastic series

Beautifully written and read. This is a series I never wanted to end, but all things must do so, and this is a fine return.

Outstanding in every respect !

Loved everything about this book series - really beautiful narration, and fantastic story, so beautifully told. I loved the juxtaposition of the two cultures and especially the insight into the culture of the tribes with the Dreamers and the Warriors etc. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Manda Scott! I can’t imagine the amount of work that must have gone into this. And thank you for the beautiful telling of our history
