Publishers Weekly offers early praise for
Song of the North, a new novel by
Jules Watson, coming in January 2008. Watson is the author of
The White Mare and
The Dawn Stag, both published by Overlook. From the review: "
Archeologist Watson concludes her popular Dalriada trilogy (after The Dawn Stag and The White Mare), with another richly imagined and action packed saga. Watson’s heroine, Minna, is a nursemaid for a Roman family living south of Hadrian’s Wall that separates Roman Britannia from barbarian Alba (present-day Scotland). A half-caste with “unnatural eyes and strange ways,” Minna runs away after the death of her beloved grandmother.

Standing in their way are the hated Roman legions, their despised Wall, Minna’s split allegiance to her Roman roots and her captors, and treachery among Cahir’s family and allies
