amazon review

Do you like stories with druids, the Fae, enchanted stones, and a magical brooch? If yes, this book is just for you. May I say how much I enjoyed this book in the series, I loved the story of Orlagh and her lover. While embellished with magic and a dose of mystery, it was real enough to keep me hooked to the book. Well written and researched, a must read Celtic story.

Smooth, flowing writing style, peppered with humor (especially my favorite type—sarcastic) at all the right moments, a touch of magic and all heart, Nicholas’ has once again proven she has every right to be writing historical fiction among the masters of the genre.
