Description
The Druid's Woman
Shanna Murchison
Ireland, 1169
In this fantasy novella of Ireland, Davnat encounters Parthalann, a mysterious druid who trains her to be his helper and consort.
But despite all the other-worldly powers Davnat is given by her mysterious new companion, and the remarkable love that blossoms between them, she can't help feel that fickle Fortune will rob her of the gift of Parthalann's love as suddenly as it was bestowed.
Parthalann loves Davnat beyond anything he ever imagined possible. He longs for a happy life with her forever, but deep in his heart, he knows that due to one act of rebellion against the gods, their Fates have already been decreed....
“I thank you, Davnat Ni Cinnede. But we have little time for pleasantries, for the path we must travel is a long one, and it is already late. We must prepare to leave.â€
“Leave? I couldn’t possibly leave in the middle of the feast.†Davnat frowned, more puzzled than frightened by the man’s strange words. Were his wits befuddled by drink already?
“You can do whatever you wish, Davnat,†came the prompt reply. “You have the power to choose. I only hope you will choose wisely.â€
“What choice are you speaking of?†Davnat inquired despite herself, curiosity getting the better of her as she peered into the dark hood, watching the light glint in his stormy grey eyes.
“Do you honestly mean to marry Henri de Beaumanoir?†he asked abruptly, reaching up to tug off his hood, and unclasping the brooch which held the end of his cloak together.
Davnat watched in fascination as he revealed himself. She had never seen a man so handsome. It was almost as though he were from another world.
Yet oddly, even as she longed to know his name, who he was and why he had come, it was as though they had already met, in some shadowy, dark, dimly remembered time long ago. It was as though she knew all the answers to every single one of her anxious questions in an instant.

An author to keep an eye on!
Set in Ireland. Davnat Ni Cinnede was to marry a Norman for peace. During her betrothal feast, however, appeared Parthalann. Their Fates had been decided long ago by the Gods. The betrothal feast blazed with fire and blood as they fled.
Parthalann had been a Druid, but decided to choose the path of a Warrior. He was to train Davnat in the Druid ways. She already knew healing from wise women and had learned to fight as a warrior all her life. Davnat and Parthalann were to have only a short time together, but their love would last forever and their sons would some day change the world!
*** A great plot.... The tale was fantastic and the author shows much talent! Shanna Murchison is an author to keep an eye on!
