A Celtic warrior princess is torn between her forbidden love for the enemy and duty to her people.

AWARD-WINNING APOLLO'S RAVEN sweeps you into an epic Celtic tale of forbidden love, mythological adventure, and political intrigue in Ancient Rome and Britannia. In 24 AD British kings hand-picked by Rome to rule are fighting each other for power. King Amren's former queen, a powerful Druid, has cast a curse that Blood Wolf and the Raven will rise and destroy him. The king's daughter, Catrin, learns to her dismay that she is the Raven and her banished half-brother is Blood Wolf. Trained as a warrior, Catrin must find a way to break the curse, but she is torn between her forbidden love for her father's enemy, Marcellus, and loyalty to her people. She must summon the magic of the Ancient Druids to alter the dark prophecy that threatens the fates of everyone in her kingdom.

Will Catrin overcome and eradicate the ancient curse? Will she be able to embrace her forbidden love for Marcellus? Will she cease the war between Blood Wolf and King Amren and save her kingdom?

If you mingled the history and romance of Philippa Gregory with the magical fantasy of George R.R. Martin, the result just might be the fascinating Apollo’s Raven (Curse of Clansmen and Kings Book 1) by Linnea Tanner. Get ready for a journey filled with the desires of star-crossed lovers, the horror of a son polishing his own mother’s skull and the fantasy of humans becoming creatures as a tool to save their very humanity.

From the start, Tanner had me hooked. The descriptions of the world being created were deep, well-crafted, and compelling. Skull-faced moon, dark Ravens, and the battle of Brittania against Rome sink the reader directly into this marvelous realm. The story is somehow simple but so very multi-faceted. Two kingdoms are engaged in a struggle to maintain their own ways. The next-generation leaders of both nations begin a Shakespearean lovers twist. Princess Catrin of Britannia is the King’s daughter, secretly in love with Marcellus, the son of Rome. Their romance crosses the point of no return when he is kept in Britannia as ransom, while the regencies tug at supremacy. This forbidden dalliance blooms in secret and darkness. Tanner doesn’t skimp on the secondary personalities either. An adulterous mother, a secret birth father, jealous siblings and a rogue half-brother are only a few of the compelling challenges our Princess needs to overcome.

Both the prose and descriptions sparkle in this book. When Tanner tells us, “she felt her stomach drop like a hung corpse,” you can see and feel it. The reader can smell from the pages when the “chamber stank like gutted cattle.” The action is lightning fast and razor sharp. The editing is crisp and diligent. One of the pure strengths of the book is the ability of human current themes to stay relevant in these mythical realms. Some questions will always remain the same and unanswered. Am I a sorceress or a warrior? Can I be both? Can I trust this person with my heart? Are my parents truthful or gravely fallible? Tanner spans this gap and explores these questions page after page in intriguing ways.

A risk of fantasy is that it is such a heavily populated genre. So much has been shown and described. That was one of the only weak spots in the plot line for me. When a character sees as through the eyes of a raven, the reader can’t help but see the Game of Thrones similarities. I want, as all readers do, something new and not yet excavated. When you tell stories so close to leaders in the field, you’d better bring your best. Tanner does a more than capable job. I’d like to see what else lies in the writer’s imagination. Fans of fantasy will be enthralled with this book. Not only them, but romance and historical fiction fans will be equally smitten with Apollo’s Raven

5つ星のうち4.0 Celts versus Romans
2021年7月11日にドイツでレビュー済み

The time is 24 A D, some years before the Roman invasion of Britain. There is a tentative connection between the Romans and the Celts, they trade, and some Celtic kings pay homage to the Romans. Catrin is a Celtic teenager, with magic abilities. She is also a warrior princess, daughter of King Amren, and she has outstanding fighting skills. Marcellus is a Roman soldier, son of the Roman senator, Lucius. The narrative abounds with luscious scenes and messy drinking, romance and fights, betrayal and loyalty, shapeshifters, gods and goddesses, sacrifices, as well as plaid pants, leather armours, blood, vomit, stench, and fragrance.

Apollo’s Raven is a complex story, told from multiple points of view. Was that a good choice? I have my doubts. The storyline becomes ungainly and loses tension, which is a pity. The characters show various believable traits. Still, some of them are inflated with egomania to a degree that makes them appear less than real. There were some beautiful descriptions of the landscape — Ms Tanner has a deft hand in world-building.

(This is my review submitted to Online Book Club ARA)

Apollo’s Ravens] by Linnea Tanner is set back in the times when Romans contested the Anglo Saxons and Celts for Britain. We quickly learn that the heroine, a young Anglo princess named Catrin has two sisters and a brother, as well as the King (Amren) and the Queen as her parents. As the tale unfolds, each of these characters is embellished with secret pasts and ambitions. Even Catrin herself is unusual as we are informed she is something of a trainee mystic with an affinity for ravens.

Early on we also encounter the Romans, Marcellus and his scheming father Senator Lucius Antonius, who is poised to alter the balance of power in Britannia. However, things don’t go to plan. Unpredictable, inexperienced Marcellus places himself in harm’s way to avoid a fatal confrontation during hostile negotiations.

Catrin and Marcellus are thrown together and a deep relationship develops, although neither is sure whether the other is really a spy, trying to gain an advantage for their family and country.

Along with Amren and Lucius, there is a third, secret wicked party that also features, attempting to manipulate everyone involved, hoping to gain ultimate glory. The deceptive individuals concerned also have mystical powers that are likely to prove more decisive than any band of Celtic warriors or Roman legion.

Hostages are exchanged between the Anglo Saxons and Romans to ensure temporary security until peaceful negotiations can be undertaken. The safety of the hostages, one of whom is Marcellus, is jeopardized as both sides scheme and plan to double-cross each other.

As the story continues, Catrin with her mystic abilities has visions that can be interpreted as dire for the outcome of Marcellus and herself, but perhaps she can no longer trust these visions as the evil mystic is also at work. An arrow of death is predicted to kill young Marcellus unless the future can be changed. The outcome is uncertain and we are kept in suspense until the final pages.

I enjoyed reading this work and have awarded five stars, the top rating, as I can see no serious flaws nor detect a reason to do otherwise. It remains to list the aspects of the book which impressed me the most.

At the top of the list must be the historical detail making the story seem very realistic. The research behind this work to achieve this effect subtly surfaces in many aspects. Light touches referring to the squalid dirt and grime, the smells, the physical appearance and much more, are sufficient to paint a vivid picture without hindering the pace of the tale.

The intertwining of Celtic and Roman mythologies into the storyline is also deftly handled so that the reader begins to appreciate how and why some of the characters are aligned. In those dark ages, the trust in the ancient Gods, reincarnation and symbolism would be paramount. These themes are firmly communicated in the book.

The mystical attributes of young Catrin are introduced in chapter one and continue to emerge and grow throughout the book. I found the author’s handling of this topic very believable and of course, crucial to the storyline.

Apart from Catrin and Marcellus, there are many other characters to be discovered. Each individual is sufficiently portrayed to allow the tension and web of intrigue to develop as hostages are taken and the climax arrives. There is love, infidelity, treachery, loyalty, jealousy, defiance, arrogance and more, interwoven within the characters.

Finally, it must also be said that this is the beginning of a love story. The emotions of Catrin and Marcellus along with their spiritual needs, the love scenes, their doubts and fears, are all well handled by the author. The outcome of their encounters is uncertain until the last pages. So even the more romantic amongst us are hooked until the end.

Perhaps I would point to one small flaw that I found as an annoyance, but by no means detracting from the five-star rating. I purchased the kindle version and checked the following observation on both the kindle and the cloud kindle app ( read.amazon.co.uk ). There is no table of contents or list of chapters! Other books do have this! The front cover looks great on the PC, but the lack of an index or table of contents makes it difficult for the reader to drop back to a previous chapter if they want to refer to something. This is only a format issue but in my view worth mentioning. Otherwise, a great book and I am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this action-packed story of the struggles between the Celtic kings and Romans mixed with Druidic magic and a forbidden romance between a Celtic princess and a handsome young Roman. I am looking forward to diving into the sequel!

Apollo’s Raven is the first book of the Curse of Clansmen and Kings series by Linnea Tanner. In it the reader is introduced to the vast world of ancient Rome and Britannia in the year 24 AD, where a complex network of characters are weaved into an equally complex plot of political intrigue, forbidden love, and dark magic. Catlin, the story’s central character, is the daughter of a Celtic king who, when she finds that a curse has been cast upon her family, must navigate divided loyalties, Roman duplicity, and her growing love for Marcellus, the son of a sworn enemy.

I found the book fast-paced and engaging with well-developed characters whose storylines the author weaves skillfully into her intricate narrative. I especially liked Catlin who is believable and sympathetic. A skilled warrior and devoted daughter, she is nevertheless haunted by a childhood trauma involving her half-brother, Blood Wolf, as well as by her ability to become one with the Raven, her spirit guide. I also thought her love interest, Marcellus, as well drawn as she and with a complexity that earned my interest. Though handsome and spoiled, he too carries wounds from a difficult relationship with his ruthless Roman father. Despite their outward differences, they are kindred spirits.

The plot unfolds at a fast clip with many shifting perspectives of many characters, so many that they could easily cause confusion. Yet Tanner manages to incorporate them artfully enough that I understood the motivations of each character without any damage to the story’s dramatic tension. For example, Agrona, the Druid priestess, seems a shadowy character, until the narrative shifts to her perspective, making it all too clear what her evil agenda truly is.

Even so, as much as I appreciated Apollo’s Raven for its character and plot development, I found its development of setting rather limited. I rarely had a sense of time and place in its descriptions. Though promoted as historical fiction, it did not evoke, for me at least, a Britannia of the first millennium. Instead, the magic of the book is in the actions of its characters and the handling of its plot – not in the mists of Avalon, or in its Celtic legends, or even in the lyricism of its language. In fact, much of the descriptive language could be stronger. Similes such as “she felt her stomach drop like a hung corpse” fell flat, making the book less enjoyable for me to read.

However, I doubt that I am the audience for Apollo’s Raven. I do believe the audience for it is the young adult fantasy reader who I suspect would love its epic Game of Thrones energy. Filled with spirited dialogue, villains with evil intent, considerable sex and violence, the book is designed for entertainment, not elegant language, education, or inspiration. Still, I wish it could have been more. I remember reading fantasies as a young woman, such as Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia that transported me to worlds unknown and inspired me to be better than I am. I wish more such books were written today.
