...They placed themselves into the path of gods, the gods of the ancient Celtic people: a man of incorruptible courage, a woman with the ethereal gift of visions, and the mysterious druid who became known in legend as Merlin the Enchanter... In
the war-torn fifth century, after the end of Roman rule and before King
Arthur’s rise to power, spy and master of disguise Marcus ap Iorwerth
diligently works to place the rightful high king in control of Britain. One of
his duties, discrediting brokers of foreign mercenaries, leads him to Claerwen,
an ethereal woman whose gift of visions draws him into the path of gods, a
destiny as unshakable as the love they come to share. In
time, they realize Claerwen has inadvertently become ensnared in a lethal
conspiracy to locate the priceless sacred symbols of Britain’s high kings.
Known collectively as Macsen’s Treasure and lost for decades, the symbols have
become the target of a mazelike network of unknown enemies seeking power.
Claerwen knows nothing of the treasure and Marcus makes every effort to protect
her, but he is betrayed and disappears. Alone and homeless, Claerwen must decide
whether to believe what everyone tells her, that Marcus is dead and she should
go into hiding, or to follow her instinct and the path of gods on a daunting
quest to find him and the truth of Macsen’s Treasure.
