Book Two of the English Adventure loved by over 100,000 readers in 125 countries...An uncontrolled passion. A heart-breaking decision. A battle that seals the Fate of all.

Ninth-century Saxon England crumbles under the onslaught of a relentless foe - the Danish Vikings. Ceridwen, a young woman with divided loyalties, watches as the peace and plenty she enjoys at the Saxon stronghold of Kilton gives way to wary watchfulness. Her dearest friend, Ælfwyn, sold in marriage to a Dane in a desperate bid for peace, travels to Kilton and recounts the events that befell the fortress of Four Stones in captured Lindisse. But Ceridwen is also confronted by Sidroc, the Dane she ran from, and cannot forget. Ceridwen's life revolves around her beloved husband Gyric, rendered now unfit for battle and seemingly, for happiness. At the heart of Kilton is Gyric's brother Godwin, the young lord who struggles both against the Danish invaders and an unthinkable desire. Growing tensions between the brothers mirror the escalating threat to the Saxons from the Danes. The Fate of all at Kilton hangs in the balance at a single terrifying battle...

Meticulously researched and thrillingly brought to life, here is Ceridwen of Kilton, Book Two of the historical adventure The Circle of Ceridwen Saga.

Continue the saga: Ceridwen of Kilton.

From the Back Cover
Epic...immensely satisfying...an impressive achievement - Historical Novel Society

Randolph's epic four-part Viking-era saga takes place in a ninth-century world caught in the grinding gears of multiple religions - the old Saxon gods, the gods of the invading Vikings, plus the Trinity and attending saints of the hardscrabble Christianity that is trying with uneven success to implant itself in England and Ireland.

The bulk of this story-cycle centers on a young woman, Ceridwen, as she grows into womanhood and has a series of adventures in a world made increasingly violent and unpredictable by the clashing of rival armies and faiths. Randolph has extensively researched her chosen era, and her books are very intentionally pitched at a pre-modern pace, designed to unfold gradually despite their sometimes-hectic action segments. We follow Ceridwen through fractured friendships, tormented loves, and the tragedies of war.

The broader, relaxed tempo of the four novels really allows her -- and her world -- to become real in the reader's imagination, and this aura of complexity is enhanced by the fact that Randolph never stoops to one-dimensional bad guys, be they Christian monks or Viking raiders.

Each of these volumes is immensely satisfying, and the four-book sequence as a whole is an impressive achievement. - Historical Novel Society February 2015

About the Author
I write the kind of book I want to read myself. I write about history as a way to better understand my own times. I write about people who are far better, and (I hope) far worse than myself. And beautiful objects inspire me: the hand-carved combs, skilfully wrought swords, and gemmed goblets of the world of The Circle of Ceridwen Saga. Almost everything interests me; I've studied Anglo-Saxon and Norse runes, and learnt to spin with a drop spindle. My path has led to extensive on-site research in England, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, and Gotland - some of the most wonderful places on Earth. My other works include the novella The Tale of Melkorka, based on a story from the Icelandic Sagas, and Ride:A Novella, a retelling of the story of Lady Godiva, first published in Narrative Magazine. I've been the fortunate recipient of fellowships at the MacDowell Colony, Ledig House International, and Byrdcliffe. Hearing from readers is a special pleasure and I always answer my letters. So write to me! www.octavia.net is my website.

A Fantastically exciting saga
By Leith A. Masters
This second sequel picked up th pace of this series of books with gusto. Again it portrays its characters vivid personalities reflecting their strong & weak point, their wishes , desires & dreams. It's carefully researched historical data creates a world in which it's reader can feel, smell, hear, taste and witness life in the 800s in Saxony England. History in its most intriguing format; life in progress as though the reader is actually living these days. In addition, the religious conflicts of both Christians and "heathens" show the differences & similarities between the two beliefs. There is a good deal of action &battle strategy , which makes a reader sit on the edge of his/her chair during a good portion of the book. Thank you, Olivia, for this fantastic sequel. I more than look forward to Book three & I know you just released Book 5, but I hope you may even consider a Book 6! This series would make a great movie!

Ceridwen of Kilton is Her-story by choice!
By Sarah NightBear
The saga of Ceridwen is Her-Story and I believe the timing of this series to emerge in our current time is Godddess sent! I am currently re-reading the entire series of the Circle of Ceridwen, as my desire was so strong to follow the complete and long story-line, knowing that I would have to go back to get what I had missed. Not too many written stories are worthy of a second read. This one is because it is not a romantic version of past noble cultures. But what this series does is shine a light brightly on the Feminine Goddess cultures of the Danes, the Angle-Saxon, and Welsh, with a dimmer light, almost a lurking, on the Roman Catholic left on this island from Frankland. All dominions seem to have a common thread of being related: the vying for self-sufficiency and sovereignty, with a deep reverence for the relationship to the land itself and to one another in those endeavors. Compared to our current time this saga I believe is divinely sent and impeccable: one I highly recommend following to allow the Feminine qualities of all life forms to emerge fully within us again as we seek collective power that nurtures life instead of neglecting and destroying it.

We witness in today's world such deep disconnection from the land that most people hardly know the earth as a beautiful gifted living being of abundance of which we are dependent upon. Daily headlines bombard the mind with total disregard for any sanctity in living and that in itself is a conditioning haze (vale) to the spirit of humankind, creating havoc, chaos, and unhappiness with the need to escape reality. Except escaping doesn't change realities.

It is in this second book, Ceridwen of Kilton, that I begin to grapple to unravel a couple of concepts: the price of war and peace between Lords and its relationship to the "bride-price" and the "duty-bound" beliefs of the females and males to their hierarchies. I feel these issues are for me the reader to work out and not the responsibility of the author, for more shall be reveled in its due time. However, as I witness Ceridwen desiring her husband's brother who rules Kilton (who has no male heir) I see she as female in this hereditary estate feels either a duty-bound call to provide that heir and sexual intercourse is carried out despite the church induced condemnation of doing so or she is delusional about who Cedric truly is. And I get a strong since of both a true.

In this second book of this series I view the real and the imaginary passions that drive human nature. The feminine Goddess qualities live in all the female characters, no matter which culture is being presented. And the males reverence to them is surprisingly correct only because they (the males) know 'tis true that the Goddess lives and rules life: the sea, the land, the wind, the foods, and decides decides who lives and who dies. There are keepers of Earth Wisdoms and Stories that survive isolation and impoverishment, a keeping of true records by memory with repetitive oration, not forgetting the stories of the past.

There is the reality of human desire for more, for wanting the best, to be known and equally important to others outside one's own culture and even for justifiable vengeance. But in that human chaos of proving one's worth is a moral and social obligation that is equal to its opposites of moral integrity and justice. There is a balance of cultures that has steadily declined in the governance of peoples over time and female positions were completely obliterated in governance of any realm except for that of the church. In the Ceridwen saga the females are highly intelligent, strongly nurturing while managing the functions of their Halls which they serve and govern, and are heard and revered during a time when serving was an honour and was contagious to visitors and guests. Life was worth living and wanted fully by everyone.

The males are truly warriors with the highest degree of skills in all mannerisms especially in battle, insuring the success of their Hall by being truthful story tellers of both their victories and failures: truth prevails among warriors. While the male desire for the female is strong enough to kill for, the choice is always left to the female and this is another important theme in life unfolding. The male figures did not 'take' women for themselves and were not violent with them in this historic-fiction even during the heat of passion: manliness had virtues, an honor code known among all, as did the feminine. We do get to see that mistakes were made during the heat of youthful desires and what followed as destiny or even karmic energy.

Ceridwen is of course the most wonderful person of the story-line who has three different cultures of this timeline in her memory, which define who she is, plus the new ones she will encounter in her future. From start to finish we see that the flourishing of human dignity is a personal choice and the strong bonds between females only benefits strong relationships with the males. There is no sin in the natural pagan Goddess culture (yet an honour code to keep) so I the reader experience what it is to be fully human, in love, sacrifice, decision making, and commitments. And it is exciting to learn about the Moon-Calendar Celebrations that are observed annually by the Goddess cultures.

I began to deeply relate to Ceridwen early in the saga in many aspects: having no Mother's love and nurturing to provide associated female behaviors, the social isolation, being raised by family and the church, and the excitement for a future unknown to her. With these aspects in her divine design she was unfettered of female-male skill imprinting. I sense Ceridwen's yearning for sisterly bonds which she was raised without but that destiny provides her where needs are reciprocated duly by her personal choice.

The peoples of this time-period are tribal, clans, and kingdoms who may not have been conscious of the unification of cultures of the moment but they definitely experienced the benefits of unification, isolated as they were from other civilizations and cultures. Isolation is a major theme presented deeply in the main cultural characters, which I will leave for the reader to discover on their own, being watchful for the themes that create the reality of peace and unity while the saga unfolds.

The prominent imagery that stands out to me the very most in book two is the cultural hierarchy that works as a governing system. I know another such hierarchical system among many of the Coastal Salish Villages that exists in the present and never died even though the governments forbid its practice. There is an hereditary order that is kept through bloodlines and adoption but even as importantly are the rituals and celebrations that show one's greatness among Nations in your own hall: a divine order. The giving of gifts of great worth merely make the bond a more endearing pledge or treaty. I followed slowly the segment of the treaty made between the King of Wessex and King of the Danes. This is a complete replica of the Ancient honor-code among ruling classes and was kept as a sacred document to always be honoured. Treaty breakers usually don't live long as a nation of people. The First Nations of Canada and all Indigenous Nations of North America have experienced over 500 years of treaty lie after lie until no honour exists in them. Also in this hierarchy segment our beloved figure Ceridwen gives the new born babe over to the brother and wife moments after birth: an adoption. I know a very similar story where a sister gave her new born to her sister so she would have happiness in her life. It's real love for others whose happiness is just as important as others! What about surrogate mothers for those who are not able to birth? Is this not what this ended up being? Rather than condemn the action, understand it fully for what it holds in the Sisterhood of the Goddess circle: everyone belongs to each other.

Another aspect I am enjoying learning in this second book is the archaic words so perfectly placed that make this story authentic oral history. Our greatest gift is our cultural language that usually only remotely is translatable into English. English is not a cultural language. English is a trade language like the Tchnouk Jargon of the Columbia River regions. Trade languages are garbled and lack gender identity so it cannot be cultural. All of this we see in the current attack upon Indigenous Peoples worldwide: the oppressing invaders of territory kill enough to frighten the remaining community into submission: terrorism tactics.

Another very similar protocol of these Nations that emerge in book two that are similar to the Coastal Salish nation is that of animal totems that give the people strength and many gifts of that animal: so far there is upon the marriage bed the carved Dragon and the Danes have a battle-flag symbol of the Raven. Symbolism is extremely important to cultures and the way we think, believe, and act.

Lastly, how can I not truly admire, and even covet, the Dane warchief Sidroc of Four Stones who sees Ceridwen as Shieldmaiden, one so like of his own culture but is of Welsh identity and origin. I witness Ceridwen's "destiny" as she chooses her actions along her journey. She had just re-pledged her eternal love to Cedric the one she previously saved from dying at Sidroc's Hall seven years earlier. And now whispers into Sidroc's ear to meet her at the pear grove later. The circle is unending to themes of great importance in this chapter and this is certainly one of them.

I give high regard to the author, Octavia Randolph of the Circle of Ceridwen saga, for choosing the right ancient customs as themes in each chapter. There are many such systems that work far better for life than dictatorship orders because they are sustainable systems. And did you happen to notice and research the list of medicinal herbal treatments that were freely given in book two? I did and believe me, they are worth their weight in gold, as is a second reading of Ceridwen of Kilton.

who has loved her for years and calls her Shield Maiden
By cheryl snider
This is my second reading of book two. The first reading was done quickly and voraciously, as I could not get enough of Ceridwen's story. Now, I have noticed the richness of the character's and their depth of emotions. I have witnessed Ceridwen's courage in times of war, and her bond with Geric enabling the survival of brother Godwin, through her verbal instruction. She and Geric surrendered her child to ensure Godwin have an heir, bringing back his estranged wife to Kilton. And lastly, the Dane man named Sidroc, who has loved her for years and calls her Shield Maiden, visits Kilton in times of peace. Meeting in secret, she remains faithful to Geric, while he reaffirms his love. Yet she thinks of him in her quiet moments, and will send her son Ceric to him for training when he is 12. This book is a time of war and struggle, as the history of Wessex, the invading Danes and King Alfred unfolds.
