- A rich and sweeping
novel of intrigue and passion, honor and betrayal, Into the Path of Gods is
the first installment of the spectacular Macsen's Treasure series. Set in
the turbulent twenty-five year period leading to Arthur of Britain's reign,
it is the story of Marcus ap Iorwerth, Welsh spy and master of disguise, who
seeks to avert the age-old bane of warfare by sabotaging mercenary invaders
and creating ways to unite feuding British political rivals. In the course
of his work, he discovers his true love, Claerwen, an ethereal woman with
the gift of visions who comes to share his dream of a united Celtic Britain,
free of barbarians. Together they become ensnared in a dangerous conspiracy
involving the priceless sacred symbols of Britain's high kings, known collectively
as Macsen's Treasure. Using wits, tenacious courage and just plain audacity,
they help clear the path for the rightful high king to take the crown of Britain,
and in the process, discover the truth of Macsen's Treasure.

Review by David Carl O’Neal - PaciŞc Coast Press “Ancient gods reigned
among the people’s hearts in Brittany, but the dawning of the 16th century
and the growth of the Church of Rome threatened the old ways. This classical
quest reveals an unlikely heroine, Antoinette Charboneau, and blends deceit
with the search for love and truth into a mythical adventure.
Antoinette’s spiritual gifts and closeness to the throne of Brittany give
her attainment of faith, plus power and inşuence in European Courts, but suddenly
the threats are immediate, personal and deadly. Seeking to aid Brittany and
her Queen, she is swept into an unexpected journey that challenges her friendships,
family ties and personal faith. Filled with romance, magic, rivalry and exploration,
this novel builds toward a precarious future.The Song of the White Swan is a
well-crafted story, Şlled with magic, history and adventure. It is a compelling
read.

no written record of their prehistoric culture, the Celtic people left behind
much archaeological and anthropological evidence of a way of life that was

edition of a classic work about one of history's most intriguing and influential
cultures. 3 maps.

- The book jacket states:
"...pagan practices persisted in the Christian church for hundreds of
years after Constantine proclaimed Christianity the one official religion
of Rome...the two religious systems were both vital during an interactive
period that lasted far longer than historians have previously believed...
pagan beliefs were not eclipsed or displaced by Christianity but persisted
or were transformed...This fascinating book also includes new material on
the Christian persecution of pagans over the centuries...the stubbornness
of pagan resistance; the difficulty of satisfying the demands and expectations
of new converts; and the degree of assimilation of Christianity to paganism."
