Priestess

Dennis D. Dunn

This epic historical novel spans centuries and brings together some of our most cherished legends: Atlantis, Merlin, a not-so pious Jesus, the origins of the druids and the influence of Pagan magic on modern characters in a contemporary setting. An unlikely and uneasy alliance of a conservative Baptist, a Mormon and a secular history professor encounter Pagan rituals and celebrations of Nature that challenge some of their own most cherished traditions and beliefs in unexpected and intriguing ways, when desperate circumstances drive them to join forces with a resourceful, energetic Wiccan against a common enemy that threatens all of them in very different ways. At the same time, this strong, intelligent Wiccan woman learns that the surest way to overcoming common fears and ridicule of her Pagan ways is through attraction and assimilation. Together, these improbable new allies discover ancient secrets from Atlantis that had been preserved by druids as Celtic magic, and uncover the power of Nature and the origins of ancient occult sciences. Ancient secrets remained hidden for centuries, until unlikely modern allies uncover these long-lost treasures and seek to use them in defense against a common adversary. Can they unravel its mysteries in time? Can those with such conflicting views really work together? Page-turning suspense, historical depth and the best of pure entertaining and thoughtful MAGICK!
