Shields, lobbers, skirmishers and the rising dead - the Dark Ages as you've never seen them before An action-packed, frantic chase through an ancient world on the verge of destruction. In a magical Anglo-Saxon Britain, fifteen-year-old Will Foundling trains his heart out trying to become an elite warrior. As an undersized orphan, he is constantly rejected but when the savage Picts suddenly come crashing through the ancient Romani Wall, Will has his chance to shine. His beloved warrior princess chooses him to join her in a quest to warn the capital and the deadly race for survival begins. Pursued by ferocious, woad-painted warriors and terrifying, druid-twisted creatures, Will also faces deadly betrayal from his own side. With only Bridget, a sassy battle-runner, to watch his back, Will discovers the Picts are themselves fleeing from a dark and forbidden magic - a magic that begins to stir deep inside him.This version of Divided We Fall has been especially adapted for readers aged 8 - 12 and is dramatically illustrated by Tony Hitchman.
