Cult of Camulos is the second novel penned by William Russeth. It is a gripping tale that will sweep you across the ancient Celtic world, from the battlefield of Telamon, Italy to the salt mines of Hallstatt, Austria, and to the fortress of Lugdunum (Lyons), France. The story is epic, but entwined in personal conflict with converging plotlines of love, jealousy, and ambition that culminate in a stunning climax.

Finding he has no heart for rape and murder, a warrior decides to return home, but it is too late. Roman Legions crush his invading Celtic horde enslaving him and sending him to die slowly digging salt. His daring escape and journey home take away everything he loves and threaten to steal the last vestige of his humanity. Will the journey transform him into a murderous monster or noble chieftain?  

William Russeth’s tale is a blend of fictional and historical settings in Europe prior to the Roman occupation, an era not exploited by many authors. “This is the forgotten era of European history, before Rome conquered Gaul and Celtic tribes controlled Europe, “says Mr. Russeth. “It is great period for an author to write about because it is not well documented, giving the author wide latitude to create a good story. But it is sad that so much of our Celtic heritage has been lost. Most people do not know that many European cities, like Lyon, were originally settled by Celtic tribes.”
