Reviews"With the attention to detail, explanation of ancient rituals, and the mythology within the clan's legends, this novel builds a community, exploring a people about which little is actually known. It's an extraordinary portrayal, breathing life into a long-dead civilization. . . . Highly recommended!" -- Chanticleer Reviews "A.M. Linden brings her imagined druid community to life with a skillful combination of research and informed guesswork. The Valley provides an intriguing glimpse into an 8th century Britain that might have been." --Juliet Marillier, author of the Sevenwaters and Warrior Bards series, "A.M.

Synopsis--Combines two popular genres: Bridges the gap between historical fiction and fantasy, combining these popular genres with elements of mystery and romance. Older adolescents and adults who grew up with series like Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, and more are ready for and will love this adventure series geared toward adults. The struggle to address ethnic and religious prejudice is among the most important issues we are currently facing as a society; The Valley continues this series' exploration of the themes of religious and cultural intolerance in an accessible way. As the second book in the Druid Chronicles, The Valley has the benefit of following The Oath , which has received strongly positive reviews and has established a readership for the series., The second installment in The Druid Chronicles series, The Valley describes protagonist Caelym's boyhood and coming of age in a secluded society where oracles are called on mediate the rifts between the mortal and the spirit worlds, physicians do their healing with amulets and incantations, and bards cite ancient myths to settle villagers' disputes., Llwddawanden is a hidden sanctuary where remnants of a once-powerful pagan cult carry on their ancient ritual practices, supported by a small but faithful following of servants, craftsmen, and laborers. Cut off from the outside world by both geography and conviction, the Druids of Llwddawanden continue to venerate the Great Mother Goddess and to view themselves as the first-born and favorite of Her mortal children. While the belief that the most important of all divine beings gave birth to their ancestors and that Her spirit inhabits the body of their highest priestess is a tenuous conclusion in view of their reduced lot in life, the Druids of Llwddawanden believe it and are, for the most part, committed to carrying on the traditions handed down to them by their forbears. Herrwn, the shrine's chief priest and master bard, has the responsibility of overseeing the education of Caelym, the orphaned son of the cult's previous chief priestess, as well as keeping the peace within the upper ranks of their order--two tasks that grow more difficult as the rivalry over which of the three highest priests will claim Caelym as his disciple grows, and as mounting conflicts between the current chief priestess and her only living daughter threaten to rend the fabric of a society that has endured for more than a millennium.
