Mash / Fermentation
(2025)(A book in the Appalachian Druid series)
An omnibus of novels by Samuel Brower
For generations, the Reillys have guarded the old ways—druidic magic rooted deep in the hollers of Depression-era Virginia. Hidden from a world that once hunted them, they live in quiet communion with the land, the spirits, and the beasts of the wild.
But the 1930s bring more than hardship. Coal barons, mob enforcers, and bootleggers clash for control of the mountains, and the people of Amber’s Hollow are caught in the crossfire. To protect their home, the Reillys must risk everything''revealing ancient gifts, awakening forgotten power, and stepping into a fight where bullets fly faster than blessings.
As blood is spilled and alliances shift, young Sean Reilly wrestles with his legacy and the primal force rising within him. His father Erin sees war looming and must embrace the family gifts he's shunned for so long. And the family's aging patriarch Donovan, once the mountain’s fiercest protector, knows too well that peace never lasts long in the hills.
Rich in Appalachian folklore and fueled by moonshine, fire, and fury, Appalachian Druid Book One: Mash & Book Two: Fermentation weave gritty, spellbinding tales of family, survival, and the price of power in a world that’s forgotten its roots.
Genre: Fantasy
