Only those who can adapt will survive.The first book in the series, Year of the Celt: Imbolc relates the lives of the Scevinge* in ancient Wharfedale through the first quarter of a momentous year. The story begins a few days after Samhain* as the weather turns, heralding yet another harsh winter. The Scevinge, of the Brigantes*, live on a crannog* built on the marshy ground by the river Warfe. They will soon be cut off from the world as the temperature plummets and snow buries the tracks.Already there are rumours of Ice sheets covering the northern lands of the Caledones* and beyond. The rapidly changing climate is threatening the very existence of all of northern Britain. Only through co-operation and adjusting their lives to the new reality will they have a chance of surviving.
