Romance Historical

Deep in the mountains of Britannia, a Druid Priest finds a young Roman woman freezing to death in the snow. Owein brings Clara to his village and reluctantly nurses her back to health. During her recovery, the two find they have a magical connection, but Owein won't allow Clara into his visions, afraid that the darkness inside him will destroy her. Clara is searching for her mother's jeweled cup, stolen from her home a few months ago. She desperately needs the cup to save her father's life. Owein agrees to help her find the cup knowing he will be rid of her soon. Their journey takes them to the sacred isle of Avalon where an evil Druidess intends to make Owein her king and destroy the world of the Romans. In THE GRAIL KING, Ms. Nash has woven a magical story in the dark and turbulent times of Druids and Romans.

SUMMARY

The Sacred Isle...All who dwelt in Avalon possessed the powers of the Old Ones. But only some were keepers of the Light. One among them had dared to call upon the Deep Magic, conjuring up a dark storm that boded ill for the people of Britain. A magic cup from the East….enhanced by Druid spells of Deep Magic, it has been lost for almost a century. In the hands of a Keeper of the Light, the Lost Grail is dangerous. Controlled by one sworn to Darkness, the consequences of its use are unthinkable. The vision came upon Owein suddenly: a delicate Roman beauty materializing out of the swirling whiteness of the snow. Her appearance near his ruined Celtic village made no sense, but when the trance left him, she remained, demanding that he use his Sight to help her find a stolen grail. The last thing he intended was to use his gifts for the good of his enemy, but there was something in the lass’s innocent beauty that would not let him turn away.
