The Druid: Legion of Horatius is a historical novel set in the Roman Empire of the first century A.D. A central character is a Celtic slave named Doriacus, who, when young and free, was schooled in the way of the Drus. Doriacus survives a shipwreck and finds refuge in a Mount Carmel colony of Greek ascetics. There, he meets a Jewish man- an Essene- who is unsatisfied with his own religion and has many questions for the Celt. They become friends and what they plan together and execute will eventually change the world. Multiple narratives are begun in this introductory work. In Legion of Horatius, a plot against the reclusive Emperor Tiberius is fomented by one of his trusted generals. Loyalists race against time to thwart the conspiracy, while the descendants of Herod the Great struggle to maintain their position of power and wealth within the Roman Empire even as it appears to be crumbling around them.
