The Last Land John Hayden

The Celts did not fear death, but they did fear losing their memorised doctrines and were forced to try and save them, against a massive empire and the dark forces of the underworld-a boy Druid could twist their fate. Turlough (the leader of the Druids) knew that the most important decision ever to be faced by any Druid rested firmly upon his shoulders. The Celts had been at war with the Romans forever, but now, the Celts predominantly resided in what they called 'The Last Land.' The Romans had never invaded Ireland, but since the Great Conspiracy of 367 AD, barely a year ago now, the Druids expected Ireland to be invaded. It was for this reason that Turlough was compelled to transcribe the memorised doctrines of the Druids. He would have to ensure that they were not decipherable by foreign eyes. Little did the Druids realise that the biggest threat to their order and their secret doctrines would come from within their own ranks, nor did they know that the prophecy of the boy Druid was about to become a reality.
