Rise of the Celts — Candace L. Bowser; T.E. Blackburn

The peace of the prior age had inspired a long lasting tranquility until the Old Gods intervened. What was coming, what would later unfold, could not have been foretold, not even in the cryptic messages spoken by the fierce and beloved Chepi. Knowing that the lives of not only the O'Bannon families but also the lives of the Minqua and Farrah are dependent on the choices made, Tim and Ian O'Bannon must take fate into their hands and make their own destiny if any among them is to survive. Certain a new world can rise from the ashes, the Celtic Nation forms a great alliance to save the heritage they hold so dear, the ones they have grown to love throughout the centuries, and those who are destined to be their future. The strength of every man, woman, and child within the valley will be tested. The future cannot be foreseen, but Tim O'Bannon is certain of two things as he attempts to secure the valley; wrong cannot be undone and blood shall fall. Peace is inevitable. But who will be willing to pay the price?
