Curse of Clansmen and Kings
Apollo’s Raven, Book 1

by Linnea Tanner

Solid And Action-Packed!

A vicious and vengeful power struggle ensues between the Celtic Kings with Rome waiting in the background for the results.  Catrin, a young warrior princess who have powers from her Raven must not fulfill the horrifying prophecy and ancient curse.  Catrin pits her strength and unworldly powers of the Raven against her banished half-brother, Merrick to save her kingdom, her family, and her true love, Marcellus.  Is her power strong enough to defeat ancient druids and alter the ancient curse?  Will the god Apollo save her or will she be left alone to suffer?

Linnea Tanner creates a world of dark magic, true love and delicate threads of each life Catrin encounters. Combined with myth and legend, the world of Tanner’s ancient Britannia is fascinating and exciting.  Shape shifters and witches, druids and gods – all in one story told with clarity and passion.  An epic tale of ancient lore, gods, and magic mixed with love and action.

Well told, Tanner engages her listeners with a story that is solid and action packed.  Mystery and intrigue with each word, Tanner is a master wordsmith.  Her vivid imagery and imagination are captured in her story and character development.  She doesn’t just say you won’t like Merrick, she makes you hate him with her well-chosen plot and vivid imagery.

The narrator, Kristin James performs the book well.  Her performance is captivating; smooth and passionate.  With her voices, she draws the listener in until they are carefully snagged within the web of the book and her talented reading.  Both Tanner and James make a great pair.

I cannot wait for book two!
