Description
In ancient Scotland, a once peaceful land is suddenly shattered by a ruthless, unstoppable enemy. Roman armies launch a crushing invasion, killing and destroying with impunity as they push north. For Calach the Swordsman, this will come to be the defining moment in his life. Standing alone, against the brutality of the invader, he defies the might of the Roman Empire with nothing but his own cunning and small group of the dispossessed.Together they lead a rebellion to free their land from the grip of a monster that cares little for their way of life and has seldom known defeat. A momentous battle is approaching for Calach and for all Caledonia. Driven by a ruthless desire for revenge, Calach must become as pitiless as the invader. But what will he have to sacrifice? Does he have what it takes to win? And will his victory make him no better than the vile beast he seeks to destroy?

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
'Fast paced action at its best. The story was so good, the characters so strong, that there was not a moment of boredom. This is the kind of historical fiction that can cause the reader to be concerned with the story and the characters, with historical accuracy never in question. Hats off to Dave Michael... a masterful storyteller.'
'Wow, a very well written historical fiction book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.'
'I loved this book. It shows the heart of the human spirit and its desire to be free from the yoke of an unwanted invader. The characters in this book are well developed and compelling. You can feel and identify with Calach and those who surround them. The storyline was well developed and kept me involved. I highly recommend this book. Lovers of history will especially find it compelling. I hope to read more from this author and hope to see this become a series.'
'Feather of Hawk also manages to mix known history of the Roman invasion with fictional characters who come to life. A very good read.'
