FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
United Kingdom – Across the globe, thousands risk their lives each year to cross borders, bringing with them not only hope but the languages, cultures, and beliefs that shape who they are. While headlines often reduce these crossings to politics and crisis, each journey reflects a deeper struggle: the effort to preserve identity amid displacement and uncertainty.
A new novel, Migration from Dumnonia to AMORICA: A Mythic Migration Novel, written by archaeologist, historian, and bardic storyteller Roland Thomas, ignites that deeper narrative with vivid poetic energy, revealing migration as a sacred passage, cultural endurance, and myth woven across generations. It is a stirring portrayal of how a people’s spirit travels farther than any map can measure.
The novel offers a vivid reimagining of a community standing on the cusp of cultural extinction. Set in the fading glow of Roman Britain, Migration from Dumnonia to AMORICA follows a people whose identity is woven as deeply into the land as the mist that sweeps its moors. As Roman order recedes and Saxon pressure intensifies, Dumnonia faces not only invasion but also the unravelling of an entire worldview.
“Migration has always been more than movement from one place to another,” explains Thomas. “It carries ritual, identity, myth, and the living memory of a people. I wanted to explore how a culture survives by transforming, how it crosses thresholds without losing its soul.”
“By weaving historical detail with bardic myth,” Thomas continues, “I hope readers will see migration not simply as political displacement, but as a sacred, psychological, and cultural act. This is as relevant today as it was in the fifth century. People still cross seas carrying stories, and those stories deserve to be heard.”
Migration from Dumnonia to AMORICA: A Mythic Migration Novel is available now on Amazon:
