Apollo's Raven by Linnea Tanner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In 24AD, the British empire is at war with greater Britannia. Catrin, the Kings daughter finds out that she, along with her half brother are at the center of a curse designed to bring about the fall of King Amren. Catrin seeks to use her warrior training to alter the curse but realizes that her heart will complicate matters when she falls in love with Marcellus, an enemy soldier. Torn between her heart and her people, Catrin turns to the powerful magic of the ancient druids to help her.
A love story full of intrigue, power struggles, choosing ones fate and a doomed love, this story reminds me somewhat of an old book called “The Silver Land” by Nancy Harding or even “The Forest House” by Marion Zimmer Bradley. The undercurrents are the same as they are set in similar times, but the finer details are different enough that it only feels the same while still being uniquely its own. Very well done!
