Magic demands its price.
In the sequel to Of Water and Dragons, Nemu and
Ambiorix must fight to survive in the wild lands of the Caitt in northern
Caledonia where they have sought refuge after Ambiorix’s desertion from the
Roman army. Another more sinister danger also stalks them, a result of Nemu’s
dark magic. Their idyllic world is about to be shattered, and their
relationship tested.

Excerpt:
Crows flew into the air from
a nearby tree in a sudden rush of fluttering black wings.
Ambiorix froze. His
soldier instinct warned him that something or someone had startled them. He
picked up the sword that he always kept near him from the flat rock and turned
around, gripping the smooth ivory handle with the confidence of a seasoned warrior.
Eerie silence descended
on the forest. The day had been dark and gray, the clouds heavy with winter
rain or snow. As night closed in, the shadows deepened, crawling like creeping
black vines across the forest floor. He saw nothing unusual and hurried back
toward the cave to make sure Nemu was safe.

Review:
“Heckart’s work offers beautiful poetic descriptions rich in
detail. Reading this book is a sensual pleasure. It is especially a joy to read
about the idyllic agrarian lifestyle and the sense of people’s connection to
the land, to the tribe, and to the spirit world. The richness of detail in
descriptions create a powerful aura that positively fills this world.”
