Synopsis

A Celtic warrior girl is held captive and enslaved by a rival tribe. When fever takes her only friend she knows she must escape, but she runs straight into the path of two Roman foot soldiers. Thinking they will kill a warrior instantly, the girl disguises herself as a beggar and asks to share their fire. Using her gift as a seer she discovers that one of the soldiers is not what he seems. Celtic blood courses through his veins too, but there is something else. He is a shapeshifter - a Versipellum. He shares his soul with that of the wolf. The girl needs to reach the leader of her dead friend's tribe, and the boy must escape the Romans before they discover his true nature. Their only chance of survival is to help each other. But what will happen when their powers are combined?

Media Reviews
Praise for the Warriors trilogy: `One of the very best magical adventures of the past 30 years . . . [Browne] is a part of the grand Celtic storytelling tradition in British children's literature that began with Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill, continued with T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone and blossomed in Tolkien and Alan Garner' * The Times *
Praise for Wolf Blood: `Wolf Blood has all the vividness, violence, passion and strangeness of a first-rate historical/ fantasy writer on top form' * The Times *
This book is aimed at older teens due to the complex interweaving of the plot dynamics, the graphic descriptions of battle, and the gritty dialogue! All in all, a good read! -- Paul Caden * Ink Pellet *
