BOOK 5
The Romans temporarily cease their war with the Druids, allowing the healing of the division between the Orders. Caedwyn, Brianna, and Muirenn leave the new Highland Skyhold in Catarina's care as relative calm returns. On the island of Eire, the companions encounter the Draoi and Semnotheoi, but soon an ancient evil emerges, threatening Eireland, Britain, and Gaul.
BOOK 6
As Highland Skyhold thrives and peace settles over northern Britain, Nero's death and the Year of the Four Emperors in Rome endanger the future dream. Governor Cerials and General Agricola threaten the north, while a dangerous new apprentice of Mab emerges, leading to a final showdown with Mab's curse in the anticipated conclusion of Druid Twilight.
BOOK 4
Under the relentless pressure of Roman oppression and the pursuit of three foreigners, the Druid Brothers and Semnotheoi Sisters face the imminent risk of disintegration, with no apparent escape except by defying the prohibition on their collaboration, as betrayals multiply and even the Roman armies and the authority of the Governor face internal threats, pushing Britain to the precipice of chaos.
BOOK 3
After Boudica's failed revolution and the departure of Orin and Selda, the Roman legions continue their campaign to subdue Britain. The underground Druid Brothers and Semnotheoi Sisters confront the threat of their own demise and that of their country. However, a young woman from the east with a transformative lineage emerges, bringing unforeseen changes to the land.
The Druid Twilight saga is an allegorical tale of our times: an age of transition in which ancient powers conflict with the emergence of a new way, a new system of beliefs that may either engulf the archaic ways or force their unexpected expansion. Nature, the elements, and even time itself is at play in this intense shamanic narrative.
IT’S A TRAGEDY -
“It's a tragedy that most of our Druid knowledge has been filtered through the Romans. This book allows us to see how things may have looked from a Druid's perspective. (A refreshing version to what has been told before.) My curiosity is piqued and I'm eager to work my way through the saga. Oh, and did I mention there's a beautiful love story...?"
FROM AN AUTHOR -
“A Well Researched Tale with a Gripping Plot (5 Stars) The author did a fantastic job weaving together magic and history to grant us an insight into a tumultuous period in early British History. I was drawn in right away, and the narrator did a fantastic job portraying the characters and bringing the story fully to life. I can't wait for the next installment of this series.""
BOOK REVIEWS
TO BE HONEST.
"To be honest, I never expected this book to be such a great reading. I knew Gerry Starnes' work as a shamanic practitioner and teacher by his videos on YouTube. His words really touched me, and thus I was curious about his books. But a good teacher doesn't need to be a good writer, and so I thought this would be nothing more than just another nice story to read, at the best. All the more, as I am not specially interested in druidism... I started reading—and couldn't stop until I had read the entire story within four days. Druid Twilight is fiction, of course. But the characters are so true in their learnings, development, problems and decisions that they seem universal. The story is well settled in the history of Britain in the first decades of the current era.
"At the same time, the shamanic practices that they learn and use, as described sensitively by the author, are common to shamans all over the world, even as they are rooted in the specific history of their cultures.
"And, there is something else I liked about the book: Fiction about historical epochs that have left us little archeological or other evidence often tend to be highly ideological and overbearing, or romantic and glamorizing. I never had this impression while reading this book. I would say this is due to the almost tender description of the characters and their unfolding. It reflects the humanism of the author.
"The threads of the story are finely woven, you'd expect this from a best seller author. I am very much looking forward to the next book! I recommend this book to all those who love a great fantasy saga, but also to those interested in shamanism, witchcraft and druidism."
GREAT LOVE STORY
"A great love story, an allegory of our present times, told at a pivotal time of re-awakening ancient powers. I hope the saga will continue."
WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE?
