Linnea’s Books: Curse of Clansmen and Kings Series

The Curse of Clansmen and Kings series is an epic historical history weaving in Celtic tales of forbidden love, magical adventure, and political intrigue. It is a tale of two star-crossed lovers from vastly different cultures—Catrin, a Celtic warrior princess, and Marcellus, the great-grandson of Mark Antony.

 

The story weaves both Celtic and Roman mythology into the historical backdrop of Ancient Britain and Rome, spanning from 24 AD when the young couple first meet to 40 AD, just prior to the Roman Emperor Claudius’ invasion.
