I agree that to the open minded, ancient legends, mysteries and magic do not only hold a unique fascination but provide a refreshing learning opportunity about the origins and development of cultures. In that regard this book is must read.
Thanks for the great review.

This book features some Celtic and Arthurian legends. I’m curious as to how Nina will be able to adjust to her life in England. This seems like a great book. Congrats on BOTD!

Nina, the lead character, emigrates from America to England. Her journey to discover her roots reveals ancient secrets and brings readers into the mystical world of the Celtics and Arthurian. This is the third book in a series but it can be read as a standalone.

Legend is always fascinating. The front cover of the book tells you that this is ancient times. The storyline is just remarkable.
Reading is a journey to the world.

I can see how this tale can be twisted and full of surprising revelations. I'm not too fascinated with folklores and mysticism, though I find it interesting how the author brings together these elements and blends it with Nina's past and family. Thank you for the review.

I found the few pages that I read before coming here to be very interesting, as I have never really read much in this genre before. The author did a good job!!

Usually not my type of read, but I see historical references (Celtic & Athurian) which definitely interest me. And it IS free so it's worth a try.

Sometimes we make our personal decisions, hoping they will make our life better for the future but some of the things we love the most become opstircle, like Nina and her mother decided to travel to England after loosing Nina's father by the time they are planning their trip, Nina hear terrifying news said that her best friend Owen is missing, now she have to choose either continue with a trip or go to see if she can go to help in finding her missing friend
