Produktbeschreibung

The Seer: An Irish Druid in Roman Britain

A kingdom teeters on the brink of ruin.

Displaced Irish Druid, Bronan, knows the real reason for the fall of Edenshire. Fourth century Christendom banishes earthy gods into myth throughout Roman Britain and though one of the last living agents of the Mother Goddess, She no longer speaks to him. No matter what he does, his gazing bowl predicts nothing beyond the flames of their destruction. The king is dead. And it's his fault.

A magical pact with his best friend, King Manfred, failed as their salvation from internal treachery and thirteen years later, Bronan flounders under guilt for his horrible mistake. Manfred's depraved brother, Barry the Red, drowns the throne in bloody madness so heinous, the Land itself cries out for justice while Sir William and his knights play cat-and-mouse with Barry's vicious mercenaries. Amid unsavoury plans for the orphaned, now marriageable-aged Princess Brigit, she battles lessons in ladyship and craves the sword and bow put into her hands by her surrogate uncle, William. And looks to her Druid warden as much more than only a teacher. Brigit is their next best hope, but she may never sit on the throne despite the protection of their seer and her father's knights. They would all die for her. And will if Barry has his way.

Bronan must act. But their victory lies through the forbidden truth in his heart and a painful past he trained himself to ignore. Until he casts off the unconscious shackles he placed upon himself to reclaim his honour, no amount of magical fury, righteous revenge, or secrets within his sacred oak grove can save them.

Autorenporträt

JD Stanley is an award winning historical speculative fantasy author and solitary Bardic Druid following the OBOD teaching path. JD honed voice and audio editing chops in the 80s as a radio announcer and studio engineer before embracing a lifelong guy-behind-the-curtain freelance career as a commercial and content copywriter, voiceover artist, proofreader, ghostwriter and script doctor. Landed Entertainment director Junga Song once called JD "the greatest writer nobody's ever heard of".

The fictional worlds of Mary Stewart, Colleen McCullough, Tolkien, Heinlein, Cervantes and Shakespeare bent JD's world perception into a magical place of unlikely heroes, quests, the interconnectedness of past and future and that though bad things happen to regular folks, a dollop of wit can make it bearable. Unapologising mythology and ancient history junkie, sorcery of science lover and student of human interaction, JD's combined passions weave rich speculative explorations into traditional concepts of good and evil where flawed heroes most often struggle to get out of their own way to do the right thing.

JD enjoys long, meditative walks through graveyards, reading encyclopaedias, and accepts that guinea pigs do, in fact, take over your entire life. JD's spirit animal is a cranky unicorn.
