The Priest & the Prostitute (PDF)

The Roman era is coming to an end in Britain on the outer reaches of the Empire. Britain has been under Roman rule for almost four hundred years and is almost completely Romanised except for Scotland and Wales where the Celtic ways still held sway. Here the people were reluctant to give up their cherished heritage to what they regarded as the heathen Romans. The commands of the Roman Governor were not welcome here but grudgingly accepted nonetheless. As much as possible they went about their business in the time honoured ways.
The people are beginning to rebel against Roman rule and reclaim their land and culture. The warriors and Druids are planning their attack and battle strategy preparing for when they will again rule their own lands and fate.
For one young girl this is a time of great upheaval and personal discovery following a chance encounter with a man, very much her elder, who becomes her mentor. For the Chief Druid it is a time of rule breaking and emotional decisions. A situation he never thought he would find himself in and one which he was least prepared for.
For their family, friends and colleagues it is a time of testing beliefs and fidelity. A time of emotional disturbance and distress and one, which they too, were at a loss to deal with.
