- Synopsis
- A major triumph of historical fiction,The Druid King, is a masterly retelling of the life of the legendary general Vercingetorix and his brilliant crusade against the Roman invasion of Gaul. Vercingetorix was both a man of myth and a real historical figure--he managed, where others had failed, to unite the tribes of Gaul and lead them against the might of the entire Roman empire. After watching his father's harrowing death, young Vercingetorix retreats to the forest where he learns the ways of the druids. Soon he must return to civilization to reclaim his birthright and his father's honor, but the city of his birth has changed. Now, he must confront the greatest military power the world has even known--the Roman legions of Julius Ceasar. This is the story of Vercingetorix, Druid King of Gaul.
