About this ebook
Annwr has spent her years of captivity caring for the timid Aleswina, an orphaned Saxon princess who was consigned to the cloistered convent by her cousin, King Gilberth, after he assumed her father’s throne. Just as Caelym and Annwr are about leave together, Aleswina learns that Gilberth, a tyrant known for his cruelty and vicious temper, means to take her out of the convent and marry her. Terrified, she flees with the two Druids—beginning a heart-pounding adventure that unfolds in ways none of them could have anticipated.

Ann Margaret Linden was born in Seattle, Washington, but grew up on the East Coast before returning to the Pacific Northwest as a young adult. She has undergraduate degrees in anthropology and in nursing and a master’s degree as a nurse practitioner. After working in a variety of acute care and community health settings, she took a position in a program for children with special healthcare needs, where she remained until she retired. The Valley is the second installment of The Druid Chronicles, a five-volume series that began as a somewhat whimsical decision to write something for fun and ended up becoming a lengthy journey that involved Linden taking adult education creative writing courses, researching early British history, and traveling to England, Scotland, and Wales. Linden lives with her husband and their cat and dog in the northwest corner of Washington State.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Druid Chronicle is a medieval historical fiction set in the late 700s ad Britain and so far this series has been an enjoyable read! I haven't read too many books that take place that far back so it was interesting to read something different. There's adventure and wonderful characters! All of the characters are interesting and I had no problem getting invested in them! Especially Annwr for me she was the one I was most interested in! Both books are well written and entertaining! I look forward to continuing the series!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Oath takes place in a Britain full of Saxons and Druids. It’s a time of mystery, magic, and things that can’t be explained that is being destroyed in service to a new religion. But pockets hold on and stick to the old ways. In service to those ways a young Druid priest is sent to find the sister of the chief priestess. What follows is a tale of travel through medieval England. The trip is not without troubles and triumphs and the telling makes for an engaging journey for the reader as they are brought along for the adventure.It’s a mostly gentle story of seeking, finding and setting out to return to a place almost but not quite forgotten. Along the way lessons are learned by all on the journey even though they don’t realize the learning. The Oath is engaging in its innocence and enjoyable in the classic travel tale. I read it in an afternoon while enjoying a wonderful day in the sun. It was a perfect book for escaping into and getting away from the ordinary.
