Appalachian Druid: Book One - Mash, A Pulp Fantasy Novel

The Reilly family, after being driven from their native lands by zealots, found peace in the peaks and valleys of Virginia for generations. In an attempt to keep the past from repeating itself, the Reillys practiced the old ways in secret, passing the family’s gift from parent to child for decades. But now, in the midst of prohibition, the great depression, and a booming coal business, the Reilly clan is at the precipice of facing a new kind of evil. Sean—a novice yet to take an animal, his father, Erin—the scarred bear, and grandsire, Donovan—the white wolf, are the last three living members of the Reillys. In the valley below their mountainside home lays the small town of Amber’s Hollow. When Amber’s Hollow is targeted by a coal company coveting its resources, and big city criminals after its burgeoning moonshine operation, the townsfolk turn to the Reillys for help. Sean, Erin, and Donovan are faced with a choice, ignore the people of Amber’s Hollow, and possibly have their mountain home blasted out from beneath them, or help fight the big city folk and risk their secrets being exposed…
