Chiefdom of the Marshes - John Williamson - Bog

Bronze age action adventure. It's a time like none that has been before. A time of powerful men, and dangerous women. A new age is dawning. One that will see change and death on a vast scale, while religion and superstition continue to bind the hands of those that would otherwise build a better world.
The villages of the marshes unite for their mutual defence, following the raids of the summer, but as winter approaches, they once more find themselves under threat. Now a chiefdom, though be if a small one, they soon attract the attention of the vast neighbouring tribe. The idea that they could pose a threat is beyond imagination, but with power come greed. Could Aeldra of the Alluni have wider plans for their waterlogged land? As Elric faces a new and brutal rival, matters of Gods and spirits continue to steer his path, with every turn of misfortune his people being drawn further towards an unthinkable solution.
Once more their one slim hope lies in the spear wielding hands of Vintnor, the gifted slave already wronged by Elric, but as he builds his own following, why would he risk everything for the man who would see him enslaved?
