Daniel has taken the next step in his life. He is seventeen, is a senior in high school, and lives in a condo. One day he comes home to find his security tape broken, and Victor in his condo. To save his life he gives Victor a time travel baton and swears he doesn’t have any more. Hopefully Victor will believe him. When the baton gets cold, Daniel contacts his time traveling friend, Sam, and off they go. They are in Wales around 60-61 CE with the Roman attack against the Druid island. A time traveler summons them with a fake artifact. Sam does not trust him but Daniel does and it will cost him.
The story has a steady pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the first person point of view. I enjoyed this book more than the first, The Last Saxon King. This series mixes historical nonfiction with fictional characters which is brilliant. Although it is a young adult book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you like Celtic history with a time travel twist, you may enjoy this book.
