There were thousands of Druids on the Isle of Mona; so many, Cate could not believe it. There were others as well, but the vast majority were Silures and Druids, with a few dozen Iceni Druids tossed in for good measure. A handful of island warriors were scattered here and there, but most of them were awaiting word from the Chieftain.
When Cate's boat landed on the east side of the islands, dozens of Druids were there to greet them. "They look glad to see us," Cate said, pulling the three boats they had towed up to the shore.
"We bring news, and any news is better than guessing." Lachlan said, surveying the crowd and helping her with the thick ropes attached to the empty boats. "But where are the other boats? How can we get them off without boats?"
"Perhaps they are on the other side," Maeve offered, feeling the first pangs of worry.
