J.M. Hofer delivers page-turning tales of adventure and sorcery in her award-winning novel, Islands in the Mist, and its sequels. Set in 6th century Britain and steeped in Welsh legend, her series brings to life the mythic world before the arrival of King Arthur.
In Book I, the great warrior Bran is called home from the battlefield to his mother's deathbed. He vows to solve the mystery of what fatally attacked her in the night, for though many have dismissed it as a wolf attack, she insisted with her dying breath it was not.
On his journey for answers, Bran encounters the fiery prophetess Lucia and her strangely-gifted stable boy, Gwion, both of whom will loom large in his future.
Upon returning home with the terrifying truth about the threat they are facing, Bran finds himself at odds with the hot-tempered Aelhaearn, determined to become their clan's next chieftain.
