Interpretation Concering Books The Willow Branch (Daermad Cycle #1)
Librarian's Note: Alternate-cover edition for ASIN B00OL13YF2A healer must mend a fractured kingdom and bring two enemy races together before a greater enemy destroys them both.
Fate took Prince Maryn by surprise, leaving Celdrya to tear itself apart. A century later an army amasses against the warring remains of the kingdom as prophesy sends a half-elven healer on a journey to find the nameless True King. Padraig lacks the power to put the True King on the throne, yet compelled by forces greater than himself, Padraig contends with dark mages, Celtic goddesses, human factions and the ancient animosities of two peoples while seeking a myth. With all that distraction, a man might meet the True King and not recognize him.
This is Book 1 of Daermad Cycle. Look for Book 2 - Mirklin Wood March 2016.

Those dark magics, manipulated by an angry goddess, have destroyed the kingdom of Celdrya, splintering it into a number of warring factions. Padraig, a half elf, half human herbman, is on a quest to seek the One's True King who might unite the realm once more, but time is running out for Celdrya as other eyesThe Willow Branch by Lela Markham is a good example of how a fantasy/adventure book should be written. It is full of thrilling adventure and enough action to fill anyone's need for it.The author did a good job of developing a story that was full of different plot lines and twist. In addition, it takes place on two time lines. Even with this it came together in the end and all the stories begin to fit in place.I liked the way Lela Markham developed her characters. They came alive as the story
A healer must mend a fractured kingdom and bring two enemy races together before a greater enemy destroys them both. Lela Markham has created a fascinating fantasy world, in which a half-elf/half-human herbman Padraig sets on an exciting adventure in search of the True King whose name no one knows yet. The author has created quite a number of characters here: humans, elves, and even a dragon. That was an enjoyable start to a series.
A beautiful fantasy novel with solid bones and depth, The Willow Branch took hold of my mind and encompassed me. I loved its setting of a Celtic realm and the reflections of Christianity really completed this work for me. Complete with a dragon, elven people, humans and long abandoned dwarven mountain paths, it easily created a wonderful fantasy realm, and the individual characters here really took hold of my emotions and made me care about the characters fates.
