Dawn of the Picts

By Paul W Simpson

In the turbulent 4th century, Britannia stood on the brink of chaos. High King Vipoig Cigfran ruled the Picts with ruthless ambition, crushing rival clans and defying Roman rule. Yet, within his own house, betrayal brewed. His grandson, Gartnait Dhuberr of the Bear Clan, once torn between his Pictish heritage and his upbringing among the western tribes, emerged as a key figure in the Great Barbarian Conspiracy-a vast uprising that threatened to bring Roman Britain to its knees. As Rome's power weakened, its legions overstretched by distant wars, Gartnait forged alliances with raiders, exiles, and warlords, unleashing a wave of destruction across the frontier. While spies and soldiers fought for control of Pictland, Dal Riata, and Britannia's contested lands, Gartnait's choices would shape the fate of the north. Dawn of the Picts is a gripping tale of ambition, rebellion, and the fall of empire.
