Title : The Celtic Princess - Philippe Favre, Olivier May - book

Summary :

This collectively written historical novel, supported by numerous archaeological sources, restores this astonishing moment of our past which returns like an echo of what we consider today to be a pinnacle of modernity: power in the hands of women.

In 499 BC, Aruna, daughter of a Celtic chieftain from the Iron Age Valais, loses her freedom following a sinister crime. The young girl is then forced to join a convoy transporting an extraordinary gift from an Etruscan king to the Magala, princess of the distant city of Sekuadunon (Vix) in present-day Burgundy.

As the convoy approaches the Sekuana (Seine) via Lake Geneva and the Jura passes, Aruna is unaware that a tragedy is unfolding in the city of their destination.

Once the precious cargo is delivered, she finds herself embroiled in a bitter struggle for life and power between the magala, supported by an incredible pair of loyal warriors and a druidess, and the prince of a rival city aided by two brothers who challenge his authority.

Will she manage to find her own way and regain her freedom?
