In the darkest days of the Celtic Iron Age in Wales, two souls emerge in a love that knows no bounds of flesh, religion, or even fiercely guarded terrain. But is their love enough to transcend brutish invaders and the coming of a new age?
Desire's Tempest Journey: The Saga of Briga of Cymru and the Wolf-Warrior is the historical action-adventure novel following a star-crossed husband and wife as their life is torn asunder by forces perhaps more powerful than their hand fast union. Conall Cearnach of clan Diahad is a Celtic tribesman and wolf-warrior bound in matrimony to Briga of Cymru. Briga. Pregnant with Conall's child, she is captured by the Luti and taken south to the mouth of the "three-rivers." As Briga fights against hope to protect her child, she calls upon her great grandfather Caswallon ap Beli the Ard Druid as a constant spiritual guide.
Can Conall escape his perilous circumstances to reunite with wife and child? When he meets a maiden named Marian, his fate takes a surprising turn. A rare look at the obscured pagan ways of the Celtic Iron Age, Desire's Tempest Journey reveals this turbulent time in all its full-on heroism and passion.
