The Winged Man
by Moyra Caldecott
$16.95
|
To this day, throughout the ancient city of Bath,
there exist statues and images of the man who
was the legendary founder of the city, and the
father of King Lear. A leper and a swineherd...
a necromancer and a wise king... his memory lives
on. Restless at the royal court, the young Prince
Bladud sets off to consult an oracle in the west
country - a wild wooded place near a mysterious
hot spring that gushes from a cave. There the
priestess tells him that he will be a great king,
and that one day he will fly like an eagle. When
he returns to his father's hill-fort at Trinovantum,
ancient London, Bladud's head is full of magnificent
dreams... until trickery entraps him in a loveless
marriage. His unquenchable thirst for knowledge,
sharpened by a mysterious experience at the burial
mound of his forefathers, takes him away from
his home and wife on a dangerous journey to faraway
Greece. There he meets and falls in love with
a woman who has appeared to him many times already
in dreams and visions. On returning to his own
country, he finds his father dying and his wife
conspiring with his brother to disinherit him.
Then, found to be suffering from a disease believed
to be leprosy, he is driven from the court and
shunned by his people. In this dark time he becomes
a swineherd. One day, he notices his pigs are
free of sores after wallowing in hot mud. He tries
the healing waters of Sul himself, is cured, and
returns to claim his throne... His was a golden
age of wisdom and magic, where Otherworld beings
mingle freely with the people of this world, and
where swans and ravens and owls take on their
own special mysterious significance. Full of brilliant
imagination, this colourful fantasy draws its
strength and inspiration from the strange and
beautiful realms of Celtic and Greek myth and
legend.

The Waters of Sul
by Moyra Caldecott
$16.95
|
It is 72 AD, and most of Britain is under Roman
domination. At Aquae Sulis, a place of pilgrimage
and healing, hot waters gush ceaselessly from
the earth. Since ancient times the waters have
been associated with the supernatural, and are
under the protection of the Celtic Goddess Sul.
The Romans have renamed her Sulis Minerva, and
have tamed the steaming waters to form a complex
of public baths. A statue of the hated Emperor
Claudius is being erected in the precincts of
the Temple of Sulis Minerva. The centurion Decius
Brutus, a Celt, is ordered to return to his home
town to protect the statue and prevent trouble.
But the local people, led by his proud father
and his fiery daughter, Megan, are threatening
rebellion... Meanwhile, Megan's twin sister Ethne
is torn between her destiny as Oracle of Sul,
and her love for Lucius, who is caught up in his
own quest for spiritual enlightenment, with the
help of the Orphic priest Demosthenes. Twenty
miles away, on Glastonia Island, a small Christian
community struggles to establish a new religion
in a hostile land, away from Roman persecution.
Cults from Rome, Greece, Egypt and Judaea vie
with the native Celtic beliefs and form a rich
backdrop to the human dramas that unfold. The
Waters of Sul is set in a time of transition and
adjustment, when beliefs are questioned and loyalties
are tested. Love and hate, conflict and reconciliation,
troubled romance and an uneasy traffic with the
supernatural all feature in this brilliantly conceived
novel from a masterful storyteller.
