Conall V: Díoltas: 5

Witch! Tullus gasped.You are not that fortunate Roman came the menacing reply.Blood has purchased a fragile peace for Conall and Mórrígan and the close circle of friends they call family. Now allies and enemies alike wonder if the king and queen have lost the thirst for vengeance on those who slaughtered their families. Alarmed gods kings and despots conspire to poke the slumbering fire.Brennus of the Senones still smarts at his defeat at Conalls hands and covets his lands and wealth. Will a bruised ego and hubris overrule the Gaulish kings normal pragmatism?The Gaiscedach want revenge for the defeat and execution of their queen. In the dead of night like cockroaches they scuttle over the walls of Lugudunon.Marcus Fabius Ambustus tolerates no challenge to his plan to be Dictator of Rome. But has arrogance blinded him to the enemy he has nurtured?The gates of Rome and retribution draw closer. But Conall needs his enemies as much as his friends. Still who are enemies and who are friends? It is a time of schisms and rebuilding of loved ones endangered and assassins and spies revealed. Yet there has always been one constant. Only the foolish doubt Conall and Mórrígan will show any mercy to those who threaten their family.
