Book 1 of The Druids of DestinyNorthern 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 northern Wales, led by the prince's own half-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.
Rhys is torn between sending her to the safety of a nearby convent, or allowing her to remain by his side and fight. Though he has every reason to think she is a spy, his heart whispers a different story, one of true love found at long last.
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. As the passion grows between them, so too do their powers. Only their daring to trust to love can prevent their whole world from being torn apart forever.
Rhys and Angharad must stem the tide of a Viking invasion if they are ever to be safe. As their world spirals into chaos, all they have to cling to is their tempestuous love. Will it too prove to be another casualty of war?
AN EXCERPT from The Tide of Destiny:
"Please, Sir, we haven't time! The woods are crawling with Emlyn's warriors and robbers and-"
"Aye, the brigand called The Silver Wolf," the stranger said with a sneer, his strange silvery eyes never leaving her face. "Was that rambling piece of lunacy the best tale you could come up with? I've never heard such a parcel of nonsense."
Angharad took in his less than immaculate dark clothing, and decided to keep the man talking in the hope that she could give him the slip. He wasn't one of Emlyn's men, nor a Black Boar from Cadwalader's troop, but that didn't mean he was any less of a threat. She couldn't afford any delay on her urgent quest to help Prince Owain. And she didn't dare risk testing his loyalty as a potential ally by telling him the whole truth about her mission. Yet still, he seemed intelligent, not completely lawless...
"I assure you, every word of those stories was recounted to me by Prince Cadwalader himself at dinner last night," she said, her eyes never leaving his handsome face as she gauged his response to her name-dropping.
Angharad never saw a man change so rapidly. He grabbed her shoulder hard, fury etched in every line of his finely boned cheeks and broad jaw. "Cadwalader's HERE?" he growled, the words coming from deep in his belly causing her own to quiver. "Where?"
Angharad had tried to keep command of the situation with the raven-haired man through bluster and bravado, but the sudden shift in his emotions truly terrified her. She stared up into his odd blue eyes, so like quicksilver, changing from one strange hue to the next in the span of a blink.
Silver.
"Oh my God," she gasped, staring up into his face.
His lips thinned to a bitter smile. "Not quite. But I'm said to be the very Devil when crossed." He grabbed her bridle and shoved his stallion closer, trapping her against a tree trunk with his mount and own huge body. "So if you value your soul, Madam, tell me who you are and why you're spying on me, or not even the good Lord will be able to save you."
