Druid King of Gaul  King of One Hundred Battles  he was among Julius Caesars greatest opponents; his eventual defeat at Caesars hands was said to prove Caesars unstoppable power. Yet Vercingetorix has remained  to this day  a French national hero. And now he is the heart and soul of this enthralling and evocative historical novel.  Witness to his fathers harrowing death  Vercingetorix spends years deep in the forest living with the druids. Although they raise him as one of their own  his fathers honor and the looming shadow of Rome force him to become a warrior. After an ill-fated alliance with Caesar  he gathers the tribes of Gaul against law and custom into a single army  ragtag but determined to face down the might of the Romans.  This dramatic and momentous life  played against a brilliantly created background of the disparate worlds of Gallic and Roman soldiers  is riveting. The final battle that pits Vercingetorixs will against Caesars own rounds out a novel that richly traces the arc of a heros life and the origin of a legend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789773103157,"sku":"ByrdShop_0375411100","price":30.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780375411106.jpg?v=1784697763","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-druid-king-9780375411106","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
