The continuing saga of a Roman city on the coast of Brittany. Like its predecessor, Roma Mater, this second book in the Andersons' monumental King of Ys series could be compared with Mary Stewart's Crystal Cave and Bradley's Mists of Avalon. PW says of the the series that it is a rich background of history, legend and religion, neatly meshing magic and natural sciences.

The continuing saga of the King of Ys
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is the second volume of the "King of Ys" saga and picks up where "Roma Mater" ended. This book provides much more character development for the central characters and describes, in detail, the condition of the northern reaches of the Roman Empire in this period of decline. While this book has less action than the first book, it is clearly setting the stage for a coming conflict. The authors have combined extensive historical research with legend and a nice dose of fantasy to provide a story rich with detail.
