The Golden Slave

In the waning light of Vercelli, the Cimbrian warband lies shattered, its once‑proud chieftain Eodan captured and sold into the grim world of Roman slavery. Stripped of his tribe, his infant son slain, and his beloved Hwicca taken away, he finds himself bound to a cruel master while the memory of battle still burns in his veins. The opening scenes swirl with fierce longing, as Eodan’s fierce pride clashes with the humiliation of his new life.

Yet even in chains, his restless spirit refuses to yield; he learns the language of the estate, plots subtle alliances, and discovers a seductive intrigue that could become his ticket to freedom. As whispers of rebellion stir among the slaves, Eodan balances danger with opportunity, weighing the cost of vengeance against the hope of rescuing what little remains of his world. Listeners are drawn into a tense, layered portrait of a warrior forced to navigate a foreign arena where every decision could mean life or death.
