★★★★


Four stars! This great story revealed something I didn't see coming.

★★★★

An epic tale of honor, intrigue, and Celtic mysticism.

Apollo's Raven evokes the tempestuous political climate of Celtic kingdoms, the unpredictable nature of young love, and the little-understood powers of the ancient Druids.

Tanner's grasp of Celtic shamanism is deft and imaginative, bringing to life an ancient pagan tradition and contrasting it with ancient Rome. This amazing foray into the world of the ancient Celts is
exciting, romantic, and laudable in its rich details of daily life.

Apollo's Raven by Linnea Tanner is Book One of the Curse of Clansmen and Kings series, a Celtic historical fantasy set during the first century C.E. when Tiberius ruled the ancient Roman Empire.

This book was originally published with a different cover, and I received this book as an advanced reading copy. I first connected with Linnea Tanner in Part 1 of this guest series, when I submitted a guest post for her blog.

This well-crafted story evokes the tempestuous political climate of Celtic kingdoms, the unpredictable nature of young love, and the little-understood powers of the ancient Druids.

Meet young Catrin, a Celtic princess and spirit warrior. When Roman troops land on her shores, Catrin falls haplessly in love with the son of the Roman ambassador, and their star-crossed romance fans the flames of an epic tale of honor, intrigue, and Celtic mysticism.

Tanner's love for history shines through in the details she has diligently researched. Her grasp of Celtic shamanism is deft and imaginative, bringing to life an ancient pagan tradition and contrasting it with that of ancient Rome.

This amazing foray into the world of the ancient Celts is exciting, romantic, and laudable in its rich details of daily life.
