The Shore of Destiny
Book Three of The Druids of Destiny
Setting: Ireland, 1147

In Book 3 of The Druids of Destiny Series, Bowen the Golden Bear is a Viking Berserker, blessed of the great war god Odin, and one of the most ferocious warriors ever to serve the great Norse Lord Horvath of Dublin. Horvath asks Bowen a personal favor, to rescue his niece Aislinn from her treacherous Irish clan, who seek to remove her as its head. Bowen uses his skills as a warrior and druid to make short work of the traitors, but terrifies the O’Neill clan in the process. His insistence upon marrying Aislinn, the beautiful woman he has worshipped from afar for many years, causes the feisty woman to openly defy him and thwart his wishes at every turn.

Aislinn has gone from daughter to dynastic bride to war trophy in only three short years. Her first marriage was dreadful; how much worse will it be to be wed to a pagan savage?

But Bowen’s love for her sons and gentleness despite him being a powerful warrior soon begin to wear down her resistance to her stunningly handsome new husband. She learns of his original Welsh family, and his shadowy past. The more she discovers, the more she begins to wonder if Bowen is truly her destiny and the answer to all her prayers. Does she dare give in to the sensual thrall he has woven around her?

Bowen is beset on all sides, battling with Aislinn and his enemies within his castle gates, and coping with treachery outside as well as more ambitions Vikings and the neighboring Irish clans come to see if his lovely new home Ardara is ripe for plunder. Bowen is determined to protect his beloved wife and new family no matter what the cost, even if it means turning his back on his druidic powers and laying down his life to save hers.

But the greatest secret of all stands between them: Can Aislinn ever accept the supernatural side of her husband Bowen’s abilities, or will she too betray him?

The Isle of Destiny
Book Two of The Druids of Destiny Series
Northern Wales, Ireland, 1146

Caradoc the Black Hawk rescues novice nun Morgaine from a murderous band of cutthroats. Caradoc tries to return the beautiful young woman safely to her convent, but her enemies have burnt it to the ground, leaving her completely at Caradoc’s mercy.

Demanding answers from the lovely but mysterious woman who sets him on fire, the scarred and battle-hardened warrior is shocked to discover his companion is none other than the legendary Morgaine of Yns Draiocht, said to be descended from both King Arthur and the great wizard Merlin.

Caradoc believes that Morgaine is being used as nothing more than a pawn in her neighboring lord Yestin’s bid for power over the magical island of Yns Draiocht, the most sacred of all druid strongholds.

Morgaine’s father Gawain is being held to ransom by Yestin’s Viking allies in Dublin. Morgaine is willing to trade herself for her father, but Caradoc refuses to allow her to make the bargain. He knows they will keep Morgaine a prisoner forever, and destroy all that she as a druid is sworn to protect.

Despite his being half-blind as a result of his deliberate maiming at the hands of rogue royal prince Cadwalader, Caradoc is determined to rescue Morgaine’s father and remove Yestin’s threat to the druid isle forever. As he travels to Dublin to rescue her father, and finds himself falling in love with Morgaine, he is willing to make any sacrifice to keep her safe, and stop Cadwalader from overrunning all of northern Wales.

Morgaine is stunned at the depth of her feelings for the handsome but badly scarred Caradoc. She determines to trust him with her life and love, and teaches him how to use the power she can sense within him to control the four elements. Their torrid passion and deepening love give both the strength and confidence to do battle with the forces of darkness.

But the mystical forces underlying Yns Draiocht are nothing if not seductive. Will Caradoc uses his new found magics for good or evil? And can this practical man of the world ever believe in magic, or that he is worthy of the love of so powerful a princess?

The Tide of Destiny
Book One of The Druids of Destiny Series
Northern Wales, 1145

Angharad of Meriel seeks to escape from an enforced marriage to a vicious neighboring landlord. Instead of gaining her freedom, she is taken captive by Rhys, the Silver Wolf.

Rhys, a powerful Welsh warrior, is determined to avenge his family and end the rebellion which has broken out against Owain, the prince of Merionedd, led by the prince’s own brother Cadwalader.

Angharad can see that the tide of her destiny has turned, and she must choose sides in the war to come. She determines to live by her sword with Rhys’ rapidly dwindling band of increasingly desperate warriors.

When Cadwalader takes the ultimate gamble and invites Danish mercenaries from Dublin to invade Wales, Angharad and Rhys discover the druidic powers within them that they have always possessed but tried to suppress.

Only their daring to trust to love and their remarkable supernatural abilities can prevent their whole world from being destroyed.

As Cadwalader’s Viking band bring nothing but death and destruction, all Rhys and Angharad have to cling to is their tempestuous love. Will it too prove to be another casualty of war?

The Wizard Woman
Shanna Murchison
Southern Ireland, 1169

The great Celtic myth of the Wheel of Fate is played out against the first Norman invasion of Ireland. Dairinn is chosen by the gods to be the wife of Senan.
Senan has always hated his ‘gift’ of magical power, and chosen the path of the warrior. With Ireland on the brink of invasion by the English, only his taking Dairinn as his consort and teaching her the ways of the druids can stem the tide of violence.

Through Senan’s love, Dairinn discovers her own innate powers, and the truth behind her family history. As she grows in power, she begins to suspect the awful truth about the sacrifice Senan intends to make to save his country. The passionate connection between them can never be severed, not even in death.
Dairinn has no intention of sacrificing the love she has waited for all her life. Dairinn wages a rebellion of her own against her lover and the druid ways to save Senan and her new-found clan from extinction.
She must bargain with the Morrigan, the goddess of death, if she is ever to achieve happiness with the man she loves. But how high a price will she have to pay for Senan’s life?

Reviews:
Thoroughly fascinating, Four stars
Kathy Boswell, Romantic Times
This thoroughly fascinating Druid fantasy was rich in detail as it told the story of Dairinn and Senan. I found myself reading this book more slowly than I normally read in order to capture every detail. The story opens with Dairinn being betrothed to a Norman in order to try to cultivate peace between her Irish clan and the Normans who have invaded their lands. Little does she know that a stranger has arrived, a Druid, there to fulfill her destiny.
Senan, a Druid Wizard comes to claim Dairinn for his own, but he has no way of knowing how hard a road they both must travel in order to find true love and peace. Dairinn’s heritage is hidden from her for years. When she finds out who and what she is, can she handle it? Can she leave her family behind for a stranger? Can they fight the evil that threatens to overtake their land?
Shanna Murchison created two very strong characters in the hero and heroine. They held onto their love and their beliefs even through the worst adversities, making them a force to be reckoned with.
