Description

1700 years ago, the mighty Roman Empire was crumbling. Even the greatest city on Earth, Rome, was under threat. As the situation worsened, successive emperors became increasingly dependent upon armies from the outer provinces to come to their aid, shoring up the empire's northern borders and fighting off invading Germanic tribes, as well as the dreaded Huns.More than once throughout this tumultuous period, the legions based in Britannia were ordered across the Channel to bolster a fragile section of Rome's border or fight off an invading tribe; and, every time they went, they left the province defenceless against its own invaders, be they Picts, Hibernians or Saxons.Eventually, as yet another army of men set sail across the Channel, once again leaving Britannia vulnerable and exposed, those left behind, the women of Britannia - noblewomen, women of the hunting classes, women who are no strangers to weaponry and chariots - start to organize themselves and take responsibility for the province's defences along both the east and west coasts, as well as a virtually abandoned Hadrian's Wall. Little were they to know, however, that as they began to enjoy success in their mission, like many an effective fighting unit before them, they too will become drawn and embroiled into events far away on the Continent.Based upon the legend of St Ursula and her 11,000 virgin-martyrs, who really did meet their tragic end at the hands of the Huns outside the city gates of Roman Cologne, Why Wait For The Wind? is the story of a remarkable group of young noblewomen from the south-west of Britannia, and tells of their endeavour to raise, and deploy, an army of women.There is, in fact, a faint smattering of historical evidence to suggest that something like this may have actually occurred. So, as you read the adventures of these incredible young women, have in mind that what you are reading might possibly contain a grain of truth; something along these lines may indeed have happened.
