Scribonius Largus Quotes

“Your most imposing adversary defines who you will become in this land.” “Forgiveness is a traveler’s greatest weapon when venturing along a Roman road.” “The important question is not ‘What will others take from you?’but ‘What will you give to them?’” “A man is known by what others see, not by what he says.” “Age and knowledge does not produce wisdom. The heart must grow as well.”span> “We are enslaved by that which consumes us. That which owns us. Whether physical or not, it does not matter.” “What we hold tightest is the most difficult to let go.” “Never fear the unknown. Fear that which is in front of you.”

First Draft

Britain is in turmoil. The individual tribes fight over the small bones of power. Rome stands in the shadows watching and she drools. One British cheiftan - Caradoc- seeks to gather the spoils for himself and keep Britain pure of Roman invasion. But, what may appear a savior to some can be a terror to others. Caught up in the midst of it all are Caradoc's twin sons. Meant for the sacrificial table, these two boys are destined to carry the hope of all Britain. Hated by their father, Jachin and Boaz strive for years trying to cope with their father's abuse, until one day they stumble into his deepest secrets. Seeing a hope of escape, they set out on an adventure to ultimately destroy their father and rescue Britain from his evil schemes.

This is our blog about our book series " The Long-aimed blow".
