The Druid's Kiss

Ferdric is a mage, a medical magician, trained in the mysteries and serving his village as healer and cleric. He has spent years working in his impressive broch, earning the respect of the community and building his fortune in the bronze currency that is now worthless. Anaya is a young woman who dreams of finding her one true love, her kelloree. Forced out of their ancestral lands by flooding, Anaya and her family make a new home closer to the coast, where she meets Ferdric and her life begins to change. But someone else has set his sights on Anaya, and he will use any means to get her. Can Ferdric save her from the evil spell that threatens their fragile bond, and seal the kelloree with a kiss before she is lost to him forever? A quick read at 11,000 words, filled with the angst of new love lost, this short romance story is perfect for a single sitting and a great introduction to the work of Ella Stradling.
