Spears and Stones — Holly Meadowes

Ansgar, the son of a powerful Germanic chief, is hunting with his brother one day, but far from finding a wild boar they find a young, fiery haired man dressed in strange clothing. Fearing that he may be in league with the Romans that their tribe are fighting against or an escaped slave from one of said Roman camps, they take him prisoner. The young man claims that he is from a time in the distant future and is searching for the myth of the Flame Thrower. As Ansgar tries to decide whether or not this boy is truly mad, trouble brews over the threat of Roman invasion. The fiery haired boy, Cinead makes a deal with Ansgar. If he fights with them against the Romans he will be rewarded by being escorted to a great stone monument which he claims he was transported here by and allowed to go home. The German warrior decides to humor him, but as they plan and train and fight together and he sees the strength, tenacity, cleverness and general beauty of Cinead, he begins to realize that, mad or not he doesn't want him to leave. Note: This book is written in one point of view.
