A mysterious rock, birthed millions of years ago on a dying sun far from ours, journeys through space on a voyage of a million billion miles. As it travels it accumulates space debris, particles of dust, each containing a speck of knowledge, but a knowledge which will only be divulged to those worthy of receiving it. Eventually falling to Earth the rock is found by such a person - a child - The Keeper.
Born into the Iceni tribe of Eastern Britain, the Keeper uses the rock to aid Queen Boudicca in her quest to repel the Roman forces from Britain. Follow the story of Oria, a storyteller of the Iceni tribe and her cousins as they travel from their settlement in East Anglia to Camulodunum, Londinium and on to Verulamium and the battles they fought from a skirmish in the village to a place in central Britain where the future of the Britons will be determined for the next four hundred years.
