Druids of Avalon series by Joy Nash (#0-#4)
Requirements: Epub reader, 2.05 Mb
Overview: Who are the Druids of Avalon? They’re a clan of Celtic shamans who were forced to abandon their sacred isle when the Roman conquerors outlawed the practice of Druidry in Britain. Two generations later, a handful of those who survived the purge, along with their children and granchildren, secretly return to Avalon and begin the painstaking task of reclaiming their lost power. During the years of exile, the identity of the Celts have become inextricably entwined with those of the Romans living in Britain, and the union of these two fascinating and diverse cultures has given rise to a new people. They call themselves not "Celt" or "Roman," but British. It is no longer so easy to determine friend or enemy simply by knowing his heritage.

#0 The Legend
This “Legend” is a blend of historical fact, historical legend, and the author’s imagination, and is offered for entertainment purposes only. It is not intended as a representation of actual historical occurrences.
#1 Celtic Fire
In the wilds of Britannia, a fierce battle raged. Rhiannon, rightful ruler of the Celts, longed to see the invading Romans driven from her land. But when she was taken by the enemy, she couldn’t deny her reaction to their compelling leader. His dark eyes promised endless nights of wicked delight, yet Rhiannon continued to be haunted by an eerie feeling of recognition.
Having to look upon the ghost of his murdered brother every day was torture for Commander Lucius Aquila. But the strangely fascinating woman he’d captured had the power to make the visions disappear, and Lucius knew she could help him solve the mystery of Aulus’ death. Even as he questioned her loyalty, her courage and beauty held him spellbound, and Lucius could only dream of the day he might succumb to her.
#1.5 Short Stories
Find out what’s happened in the years between Celtic Fire and The Grail King, in three free “between the books” short stories.
#2 The Grail King
All who dwell in Avalon possess the powers of the Old Ones. But only some are keepers of the Light. One among them has dared to call upon the Deep Magic, conjuring up a dark storm that bodes ill for the people of Britannia…
The vision came upon him suddenly: a delicate Roman beauty materializing out of the swirling whiteness of the snow. Her appearance near his ruined Celtic village makes no sense, but when the trance leaves him, she remains, demanding that he use his Sight to help her find a stolen grail. The last thing Owein intends is to use his gifts for his enemy, yet something tells him this innocent lass has the power to heal his wounded heart.
#3 Deep Magic
Hidden away on a misty isle, steeped in the teachings of The Lady, they used enchantment to stem the tide of the invaders while battling a still darker enemy.
It was the Roman word for bright iron, and Marcus had long been struggling to forge of it a mighty weapon. Though his workmanship surpassed all others, the right combination of heat and force eluded him…until a familiar silver-haired beauty appeared beside his anvil. Gwendolyn was trained in the ways of Light, but she harbored other secrets besides that of the magical shining sword. Her lithe body aroused in him a white-hot fire, a need fanned ever higher by her nearness. Though he could not help remembering the golden glow of a wolf’s eyes when he looked into her hypnotic gaze, he knew he must surrender body and soul to her mysterious powers, for only with Gwen guiding his hammer could they create…Deep Magic.
#4 Silver Silence
Drawing on Arthurian legend, Nash creates an intricate romantic adventure around the identity of the mysterious Merlin, the Lady of the Lake, and the birth of the Once and Future King. A compelling mix of romance, myth, history and sensuality.
