      This story is dedicated to my Mom and Dad, a wonderful couple who broke all the rules to be together. Here’s to forty spectacular years with one another.

      This is also dedicated to the beloved memory of my Dad. I will miss you so very, very much. 1943-2011

      Dear Reader,

      I’d like to thank you for purchasing, The King’s Druidess, Prelude to The MacLomain Series.

      Unlike the others, this story is told in a fashion much like a fairytale with strong Celtic folklore. As you read, perhaps envision that you’re sitting around a campfire deep in the woods. After all, this is a tale born of nature. I did not overly elaborate on the individual Fae characters as I felt for the sake of the series it best to focus on the romance between Erc and Chiomara.

      In honor of my beloved father and marketing manager, I’ve decided to make this entire series available at .99 cents per story until further notice. While The King’s Druidess is far shorter, Fate’s Monolith (Book 1), Destiny’s Denial (Book 2) and Sylvan Mist (Book 3) are full length novels with years of research and love between their pages.

      The MacLomain Series is a romantic fantasy/time-travel/paranormal saga that takes root in Ireland but prevails in Scotland. The love stories are potent and the characters memorable. I hope you enjoy getting to know them as much as I enjoyed bringing them to life.

      May we all be privileged enough to find our true love.

      Best Regards,

      S. Purington

      Ireland, 487 A.D.

      At long last, it’s time!

      She stood alone at the pinnacle of 'Eire, her face to the wind. The long white robes of her calling whipped and twisted. The cliff dropped sharply at her feet, broken and ragged until it fell into the sea hundreds of feet below. Chiomara Ruadh raised her arms in the air, flung back her head and closed her eyes.

      Her voice rose above the thunder of waves. It will be as you say Brigit, Goddess of Divination. In the circle of stones beneath the oak, I have come and I will wait.

      Warmth folded her in bright light. Chiomara bore the slow burn of
