The Gold Sickle; Or, Hena, The Virgin of The Isle of Sen. A Tale of Druid Gaul

"The Gold Sickle; Or, Hena, The Virgin of The Isle of Sen. A Tale of Druid Gaul" by Eugene Sue is an adventure that throws us back in time to ancient Gaul, where we meet Joel, a tribal chief, and his daughter, Hena, as they try to live in a time of clashing cultures, class differences, and the arrival of the Romans; the story kicks off as Joel expects the overdue return of his daughter. As the tale unfolds we watch Joel as he welcomes a mysterious stranger and together they reveal the dangers of Roman expansion. It’s a story packed with community, family bonds, warning signs, and looming conflict as the Gauls brace themselves for war.
