In the days of the Roman rule in Britain, Quintus, the son of the Roman Governor by a British captive, has grown up as one of his mothers people, known to them as Gwynn; has won place and power among them as a Bard, making their peace with Rome; and is to wed Mona, the foster-child of Enya and A rth and last of the blood of Boadicea. But a great rebellion has brewed in Britain under Caradoc, their chief Bard and Gloom, the Druid, foster-brother of Mona, She by birthright and by old signs and prophecies is foretold their leader; and thereto she has been bred up hating Rome and dreaming of great deeds. This Gwynn withstands in vain; and lest he lose Mona and all his power, is driven to swear fellowship in their conspiracy. Even so, for urging peace he is disowned and cast off by them and by her.
