The Emergence of the Shaman
In his early life, Wiglaff demonstrated that his qualities were different from those valued by his father, Mordru and his sister, Winna. His instinctual sensitivity and his insight into the natural world set him apart. As he gradually develops his shamanistic skills, his sister is becoming the consummate female warrior.
Protected by his prescient mother Onna, Wiglaff learns of his family’s connections across Caledonia as Onna arranges Wiglaff’s tutelage with Ugard the Shaman, her former suitor.
As his sister extends her liaisons with the women who will form her secret army, Wiglaff comes to understand the comprehensive scope of the Roman effort to contain and conquer Caledonia. A Roman slave, named Festus, helps Wiglaff clarify the Roman threat and ultimately sacrifices his life for the Caledonian cause.
Once his destiny is set, Wiglaff’s entire focus must be directed at answering his calling, to emerge as Shaman.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would have finished it im a single evening if household responsibilities didn’t interfere! I thoroughly enjoyed the general historical information that allowed for a better understanding of the time in history when the story takes place. I’m also a huge fan of the series The Last Kingdom and a lifelong Harry Potter fan. This book touched on both of those categories of entertainment for me.
The only thing close to negative I would say is that I wish the story provided more information about the other characters lives. However, when I purchased this book at the Columbus Bool Festival, the author advised that the first book in the series is based on what happens in the future. I’m looking forward to reading that next!
