Nature's Tribe

Exactly whose handfasting is this? Senna feels like nothing but an inconvenience at her own wedding.

Instead of the small, serene event Senna and Lyran conceived, his father seems determined to take over every aspect, from what she should wear to exactly what and when their guests should eat. His reason for inviting the entire village, and commissioning a chef to royalty, is clear.

Power.

The magister wishes to impress people who could gain him a position on the council.

But when Lyran swaps his heartfelt vows for the complex ones his father deems appropriate, Senna’s anger boils in the midsummer sun. Is the man she’s marrying too weak to stand up for himself? It does not augur well for their life together if he is nothing more than his father’s puppet instead of the generous, independent man she thought she knew.

This medieval, Wedding-themed romantic tale will appeal to fans of Call the Midwife , Poldark and Robin Hood who enjoy elements of magical realism, mystery and humour.

Written as a prequel to the holiday-themed romance/adventure, 12 Days of Yule , this gives snapshots in the lives of Senna and Lyran - a couple of medieval healers not averse to using a dollop of earth magic and oodles of humour in their work. What they don't yet realise is their higher purpose - to heal an entire world.

The third in the Nature's Tribe series, 8 Sabbats of the Sun , will be out early in 2019, where Senna's daughter Lyrelie picks up the tale.
