A WINDING PATH"

by Aubry Lea Bazán

   In his Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar mentions few women, but one is Odelia, daughter of Orgetorix, the most feared chieftain of the Helvetians who once lived in modern Switzerland.  Orgetorix secretly plans to lead the Helvetians across the river into the rich lands of Gaul, insisting he has no fear of the Romans.  To achieve his aim, he pledges his daughter in marriage not to his own best warrior Ticus as she had always expected but to the Gaul Dumnorix. Although a handsome man and king of the wealthy Aeduans, he is a man who smiles pleasantly out at the world. Odelia knows no man can rule with only a pleasant smile, but she must honor her father's wish in the best interests of her people.  She crosses the river to become his brides as Gaul prepares to receive a new Roman commander, Julius Caesar. As events foreshadow the end of their world, Odelia finds that nothing is as simple as she thought it was.

"HER WARLORD'S SPY"

by Aubrey Lea Bazán

Bergith, not yet full grown, came to the Celt castle of Kolaren as the only surviving Viking captive. To protect her from this hard, cruel castle the queen dressed her in boy's clothing, called her Einar and gave her a small harp which she learned to play well.  The Queen met a brutal end at the hands of her warlord, but three years later the old warlord died and his oldest son, Dovan, a formidable warrior became warlord. Almost at once Kolaren was attacked, and Dovan sent "Einar" to spy out which of two enemies he was facing, since a Singer of Songs was always welcome in a castle.  Thus "Einar" became her warlord's spy as he waged war and fell in love, but not with her, for life is not so simple, and Bergith's fate lay along a different path.
