Legacy of Hunger is the first book in The Druid’s Brooch historical fantasy series. If you like determined female characters, immersive authenticity, and a wee touch of fairy magic, then you’ll love Christy Nicholas’s transatlantic adventure.
As first I did not like the character, he was too weak for my taste, magically speaking. But I kept reading and what a surprise, I fell in love with the protagonist and with the story itself. Alastair Stone is now my favorite character ever.

I had a lot of fun with this novel. The characters were interesting and the story was fast paced enough to suck me into the world in the most enjoyable way. The world developed within has obvious potential to become a world of magic and mayhem. Looking forward to further installments of the series and the hero.
