Vortigern commits a terrible crime to become High King of Britannia - a crime which is he is urged to commit by his ambitious wife, Severa. This Macbethian tale is set in 5th century Britannia - featuring a proud tyrant, a death-dealing druidess, a seduced monk, two pitiless Picts, two Angle invaders, a voluptuous Valkyrie, two battling dragons, the Rightful King, and a parade of the most beautiful women in history - all written in a special kind of poetic prose. - (blank verse formatted as prose and written with due attention to both the rhythm of the pentameter and the shape of the prose paragraph.)
