Recensione:

"Jules Watson has conjured up the mythic past, a land of Celtic legend and stark grandeur...fascinating and unforgettable." --Sharon Kay Penman

"Watson deftly blends fact and fancy, action and romance in her splendid historical fantasy." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Watson presents an ancient Scotland peopled by strong-minded women and powered by ancient, goddess-based magic...tightly laced with romantic tension, treachery, and cliffhangers aplenty" --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"A fine historical epic"--Woman's Own

"It requires a special sort of imagination to create a plausible vision of Britain at the time of the Roman conquest. Jules Watson's White Mare, the first in an epic trilogy of life in Celtic Britain, rises effortlessly to the challenge." – Daily Express
