"Alongside her original contemporary thrillers, she has written two sets of four historical thrillers. "The Boudica series" were her first historical novels, of which Boudica: Dreaming the Eagle was the first. Rooted in the pre-Roman world of ancient Britain - and the Britannia it became - the novels 'give us back our own history', exploring the worlds of druids (called dreamers in the book and portrayed as shamans) , warriors and the Roman occupation that, in Scott's eyes, destroyed a once-great civilisation. The books centre around two primary characters: the girl Breaca, who grows into the woman who takes the title 'Boudica' (meaning 'She who Brings Victory') and her brother Bán, who, for much of the four books, is her nemesis.
