About this listen

Dreaming the Serpent Spear is the magnificent final story of the world’s most famous warrior queen in in Manda Scott’s best-selling Boudica series.

Britannia, AD 60: the tribes of Britannia are ready to seek bloody vengeance. Twenty thousand warriors are poised to reclaim their land from their captors.

Now is their chance: the Roman governor has marched his legions west, leaving his capital and a vital port undefended. There is no going back.

But to crush her enemies for all time, the Boudica must do more than lead her army in the greatest rebellion Britain has ever known. She must find healing for herself, for the land - and for Graine, her eight-year-old daughter.

Colchester is burning. London has been destroyed. Amidst fire and bloody revolution, the Boudica and those around her must fight to keep what matters most - now and for all time.

Critic reviews

"The conclusion of an extraordinary achievement...a story of defeat made glorious by courage and legend, a quartet that gives us back our own history. They will be read and re-read many times." (The Independent)

"A powerful novel, alive with the love, deceit, wisdom and the heroics of humanity." (Jean M. Auel)

I've read this book more times than I can remember but listening to it just gives it a whole new dimenson. Everything just seems heightened in the audio version. This will forever be one of my absolute favourite series

I think Manda Scott and her team have researched and written a very engaging account of this period. The audiobook narrators have brought the characters alive and have contributed to a very enjoyable and satisfying experience. Thank you.

I have listened to these Boudica books three times now. Needless to say i love them. I pick up different things each time and this time is the best. All the narrators are brilliant now I'm listening to Romes Spy which gives me some closure, i dont know what to listen to next. For now i live with the ghosts of dreamers and warriors .

Incredible

So wonderfully written. Descriptions are so vivid and clever, using onomatopoeia, makes the reader easily image the scene and go into it (as in the dreaming Manda Scott describes)

Excellent

I loved the incite into dreaming, how minds can be linked, through family's, not necessarily blood family. How the story of Roman invasion and people's need to take and not share is as old as time.

The subject and interest a different view of the world

Oh my goodness, I did NOT want this book to end but it was a great and emotional final instalment in a brilliant series. Beautifully read, as always, and thank you Manda Scott for bringing this period in history so alive and for introducing me to the concept of dreaming. Wonderful!

A Fitting Finale

Conjuring up the world of dreaming and ancient gods hauntingly beautiful
Each character feels really alive

Brilliantly written and narrated
