The Grail King

Written by Joy Nash
Review by Mirella Patzer

In Avalon in A.D. 130, Clara, the daughter of the commander of the Second Roman Legion, seeks a magical grail stolen from her family. The grail is her only hope to heal her dying father. She seeks Owein, a cursed Druid seer who lives as a hermit in a deserted mountain village. Owein stumbles upon Clara, the woman in his most recent vision, lying unconscious in the freezing weather and takes her home. Clara tries to win his assistance. He is loath to help her because the Roman army murdered and enslaved his people, but he reluctantly agrees. A powerful mental and physical force comes to life between them as they embark on their quest. Unbeknownst to either of them, a dark force lies in wait to possess Owein and the grail for evil purposes.

This paranormal romance ignites the majesty of ancient Britain in the years before King Arthur. This is the first book in Nash’s Druids of Avalon paranormal historical series. There is plenty of mystery and sensuality to keep the reader interested to the very last page. Joy Nash delightfully blends Celtic, Roman, and Druid lore in this innovative and very entertaining novel.
