**“Two smart, ambitious women born two millennia apart--a Celtic druid and a forensic scientist--bring unexpected acclaim to one another . . . a strangely beguiling tale that celebrates perseverance, scientific inquiry, environmentalism, progress, and cooperation.” -- *Christian Science Monitor***
When Agnes arrives in the peat bogs of Northern England to study an anthropological marvel--an Iron Age body--she isn't expecting the controversy. Peat-cutters are looking to profit from the bog, activists are demanding it be preserved, scientists are clamoring for the next discovery. And then there is the moss itself: a repository of artifacts, with its own dark stories to tell.
Flashing between post-Brexit England and the druidic order of Celtic Europe, *Bog Queen* brims with ancient wisdom as it connects across time two gifted, farsighted young women learning to harness their strengths in a landscape more mysterious than either can imagine.
