Riassunto:

Sacred Ground comprises three features set during the tumultuous Pict Roman Wars. Written by Alex Ness, author of The Ravens of Odin, and profusely illustrated by Ed Quinby, the first story follows the movement of empire in the British Isles and a young soldier's rise thru the ranks. The second feature recounts the legend of warrior queen Boudicca from both the Celtic and Roman perspectives. Finally, Wrath of Caledonia is a poem in the epic tradition, told from the point of view of a German mercenary in the Roman army, who may have more in common with his enemy than his masters. Filled with history and humanity, Sacred Ground brings this little understood period to vibrant life in words and images.

Informazioni sull'autore: Alex Ness has been trained as a historian, but his passion has always been writing, and poetry writing in particular. He has written poetry since the age of six and published since 2007. His work in many genres and media can be found at http://alexnesspoetry.blogspot.com/ To briefly add to my curriculum vitae, I am a Minnesotan who loves cats, comic books and much more. I am married with a wonderful son. Ed Quinby, Illustrator Just as Alex did, I discovered my passion at an early age, but in my case, it was illustration and comics. In fact, I learned to read from the Sunday Prince Valiant strips. So, working with Alex to bring this violent and exciting era to the page was in many ways a happy return for me. I very much enjoyed this, our second collaboration and look forward to more.
