About the Book

In 383 AD a truly great love story blossoms between Magnus Maximus, the Roman leader in Britain - afterwards for five years Roman Emperor - and Elen, daughter of a powerful British king in the place we now call Wales. Magnus is fascinated by Elen, a gifted Seer and healer and a 'pathfinder' whose talented ancestors made straight roads in Britain long before the Romans. As the Roman Empire begins to crumble the love between Elen and Magnus links the sophisticated Celtic culture, with its esoteric rites and rituals with the pragmatic military culture of Rome now imposing Christianity on the known world. Reviews of Wendy Robertson's novels 'A terrific read. A world on the cusp of change and we experience it intimately.' Historical Novels Review. 'A powerful writer.' Mail on Sunday. 'Wonderful...Robertson deftly intertwines two time periods, slowly absorbing one into the other through the remarkably likeable protagonist.' Booklist USA. 'A great storyteller... she weaves another tale with ideas that still resonate when the story's over.' Northern Echo. 'Wendy Robertson is a rare breed - a writer with an exquisite gift for creating vivid, relatable characters.' Scottish Daily Record. Note: ' In The Pathfinder I have taken the available material and archeological history of late fourth century Britain and addressed the powerful pre-Arthurian myths of Macsen Wledig and the British princess Elen. My intention is to weave a story that has hope, truth and justice at its heart.' Wendy Robertson
About the Author: Wendy: 'I am passionate about my writing, having written since I was eight and published since I was in my twenties. I have been interested in all aspects of history since I was a child and visited the nearest cemetery in my school lunchtimes, fascinated by the names and the dates on the graves, some of whom were my own antecedents. History and fiction were my great escape in my rather challenging childhood. By the time I was eleven I was reading five books a week from the library. Beginning to write my own stories in notebooks seemed the obvious next step. My mother wrought unexpected magic when she somehow managed to get me into college so I could qualify as a teacher. She still urged me on and supported me when - by then married with two children - later I obtained a Master's Degree in Education and began to work at a teacher training college. So it seems storytelling and writing and teaching have gone hand in hand throughout my life. Even when, having had several novels published, I moved to full-time writing, part of my professional life has been teaching at conferences as well as tutoring and mentoring. This has evolved into founding Room To Write with my writing colleagues Avril Joy and Gillian Wales - a small organisation promoting ideas of independent publishing as a way forward for writers.' See roomtowritepublishing.wordpress.com Background: Wendy Robertson lives in the historic North East of England with her husband and has grown up children, a grandson and visiting dogs. Having taught history and art in schools, and education in college, she has published many novels, both historical and contemporary, and two short story collections in addition to a short memoir of her writing life. Now, as well as working on her current novel, she posts a widely read blog about many aspects of her writing life - www.lifetwicetasted.blogspot.com.
