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)

OMG I’m devastated to get to the end of this story. The Boudicca has walked in my dreams for ever and to hear her life and loves and tragedies brought so vividly alive by Manda Scott and the team has been a delight. Sublime, simply sublime.

I so rarely leave a review however I have absolutely loved this series to the point that I put off listening to the last 3hours for a about a month because I didn't want it to end. Nanda took a well k own legend with a deeply unsatisfactory ending and created twists and turns that still kept you guessing AND managed to. Give everyone the ending they needed by the end of the book utterly amazing

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

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
