Synopsis

The Voyage of Bran is an exquisite example of early medieval Irish literature, blending myth, adventure, and the supernatural within a poetic narrative. The text recounts the journey of Bran mac Febail, who embarks on a seafaring quest after being lured by the enchanting call of a mysterious Otherworld. Rich in vivid imagery and intricate symbolism, this tale reflects the cultural milieu of early Ireland, where oral tradition flourished, and notions of heroism, the afterlife, and the natural versus the supernatural were interwoven. The lyrical style and dreamlike structure invite readers to explore themes of identity, destiny, and the transcendent qualities of nature, culminating in an exploration of deeper philosophical inquiries about existence and belonging. While the author of The Voyage of Bran remains anonymous, the work is set against the backdrop of a society steeped in tradition and myth-making. Emerging from the early Irish literary canon, this text reflects the beliefs and aspirations of its time, illustrating the significance of the sea as both a literal and metaphorical boundary between the familiar and the unknown. It serves as a portal to understanding ancient Celtic spirituality and the human quest for meaning beyond the mundane. This remarkable tale is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, early literature, and Irish culture. It invites readers to journey alongside Bran, immersing them in rich landscapes and otherworldly realms. The Voyage of Bran offers a compelling reflection on the human condition, making it an indispensable addition to the libraries of scholars and casual readers alike.

    Circus Maximus, Final Justice is a historical fiction epic set in ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Claudius (42 CE). The story reimagines the classic Ben-Hur narrative with an Egyptian female protagonist facing the son of the infamous Emperor Caligula in a climactic chariot race that becomes a symbol of justice versus oppression. 
    Main Characters 
    Khaemwaset is an 18-year-old Egyptian woman from Alexandria, daughter of master charioteer Amenhotep and priestess Nefertiti. Raised in a family renowned for their horse-training expertise, she possesses an almost mystical connection with horses and exceptional racing skills. Her life is shattered when Roman forces raid her family's compound under false pretenses of sedition, killing her parents and enslaving her. 
    Marcus Caligula Germanicus, the fictional 25-year-old son of Emperor Caligula, embodies Roman arrogance and entitlement. Cruel, intelligent, and obsessed with proving his imperial worthiness, he views Khaemwaset's skills as a threat to Roman superiority and challenges her to a race to demonstrate the natural dominance of Roman blood over conquered peoples. 
    Plot Summary 
    The story begins in Alexandria, where Khaemwaset learns chariot racing from her father while her mother serves as a priestess of Isis. Their peaceful life ends when Roman forces, acting on Caligula's orders, seize their property and horses under fabricated treason charges. The raid is actually part of a systematic campaign to eliminate competition in chariot racing and secure the finest horses for Roman teams. 
    Sold into slavery, Khaemwaset is transported to Rome's imperial stables, where her extraordinary abilities with horses quickly become apparent. Marcus discovers her background and, recognizing both her talent and her symbolic threat to Roman supremacy, forces her into a public race in the Circus Maximus. He frames the contest as a demonstration of Roman superiority over conquered peoples.
