The year is 120 AD, in the lowlands of Scotland. The Roman empire is at its height, with the whole of Britannia all but conquered – only the wild Celtic barbarians north of the Roman frontier are yet to be crushed.
But the Celts, led by their war chief, Cefin of Mirchar, have other ideas.
Frustrated by Cefin’s mixed messages towards her, Mairenn, the clan’s young, widowed healer, takes off to pay her respects at her late husband’s grave.
But she has no idea just how far her startling discovery on the desolate, misty moorland that day is about to draw her into a dangerous web of love, deception and betrayal, seemingly impossible to escape.
First Touch is the prequel to Beyond the Wall, a Celtic-Roman historical romance series.
