Scathach's Protege

Before Scotland was called Scotland, the territory north of Scotland's isthmus was called Alba. Before Alba it was called Pictland, before Pictland, Caledonia. Originally scattered tribes of Picts, loosely governed by chiefs, lived there. However, by 800 AD Saxons, Angles, Scots, Vikings, and Roman Christians were eradicating them or absorbing those Picts who would give up their Celtic gods into their own culture. Scthach's Protg continues a story set in Scotland's darkest century, in the twilight of the enigmatic Picts. Gaelen, a deposed princess, trained by Ana (the personification of Scthach, the legendary Celtic goddess) in personal combat, fights them all to try to regain her kingdom. .
