Deep Magic

'Deep Magic' will enchant you!

Joy Nash contributes a fabulous story to the legend of Excalibur with this compelling tale of magic and passion in the unique and fascinating setting of Roman-occupied Great Britain. Marcus Aquila is a hero to die for: a patrician Roman who ignores the social stigma of working with his hands to create magnificent, highly-coveted weapons. He also buys Celt slaves in order to free them, earning even more scorn from his peers. The Celtic Druidess Gwendolyn seeks him out to make a weapon she¿s seen in a vision: a sword which binds both Light and forbidden Deep Magic. As they work together to forge the enchanted sword, Gwen and Marcus forge other, even deeper bonds of respect and passion. Ms. Nash handles all the threads of her story with equal panache. She gives us vivid historical descriptions of blacksmithing methods, Roman and Celtic homes, and the tension between the two ethnic groups, all of which have the ring of authenticity. Her love scenes are fiery and her evocation of magic is utterly convincing. This is one of those books you have to be careful about starting because it¿s impossible to tear yourself away from it. I can¿t wait for the next book in the Druids of Avalon series.

a fantastic romantic fantasy

The magically supported mists have kept Avalon safe from the mighty Roman legions. However, the Romans have at least one mage amongst its army who is beginning to open a pathway through the mists. If he succeeds, the Romans will overwhelm Avalon like it has everywhere else Britannia will become another Gaul.--------- Daughter of the Lady, the powerful mage Gwendolyn knows the enemy is coming as the mists that protect her people and land slowly dissipate. She shapeshifts into a wolf to observe who the enemy magician is that threatens her people. However Gwen is forced to flee to buy time she finds shelter off island with her friend Marcus, who following her visions forges a great sword Excalibur. At the same time the attraction between them ignites into a deep love, but both knows saving Avalon comes first.--------- Returning to the Ancient Druid Britannia of THE GRAIL KING, Joy Nash provides a fantastic romantic fantasy. The lead couple seems genuine and makes a nice pairing while the Roman advances anchor the time and place with a key realism. Whereas sub-genre fans will believe in Druidic magic as the mists clear, it is the romance that proves to be the DEEP MAGIC of an entertaining story.----------- Harriet Klausner
