Brodyr Alarch
Where the timeless tales of the Brothers Grimm intertwine with the captivating mythology of the Welsh gods, and each brother’s destiny is bound by ancient magic, divine meddling, and the power of love to shatter even the most enduring of curses.
Selene may not be an official member of Brodyr Alarch, but her tale in Sealed with a Curse is the foundation of it all, making her inclusion only fitting!
After all, she appears in the rest of the Brodyr Alarch series.
With my words, I will it.
Ravens and Ruin, #5
In a land where gods still whisper through stone and stream, one man’s forbidden gift may be the key to salvation or ruin.
Two years have passed since Harri was crowned King of Melthkior. Though peace holds above, something ancient stirs beneath the earth. When Ewan—the youngest of Arianrhod’s Brodyr Alarch and now General of the Melthkiorian army—unknowingly consumes the flesh of the White Snake, a druidic creature steeped in forbidden magic, he gains the ability to hear the thoughts of beasts, birds, and even the wounded land itself. But such gifts are never freely given.
As shadows gather beneath root and rock, and unrest bleeds through the land, Ewan finds an unlikely ally in Lowri, a healer-warrior of the old ways. Together, they are drawn into a quest shaped by two goddesses known to them: Branwen, mournful and vengeful, and Arianrhod, whose weavings bind fate to flesh. Tasked with three impossible challenges, Ewan must uncover forgotten truths, confront his deepest fears, and navigate the blurred boundary between love and sacrifice.
Ewan and Lowri face a path none have walked before. As the Veil between worlds begins to fray, they must decide whether the power to listen is enough… or if one must speak a truth that could shatter everything.
Ravens and Ruin presents a spellbinding reimagining of The White Snake, weaving together Brothers Grimm folklore and the ancient mythology of Welsh deities. As the penultimate instalment in the Brodyr Alarch series, it continues a sweeping tale of fate, love, and legacy. Sealed with a Curse serves as the unifying thread that binds the series into a single, mythic tapestry.
Daffodils and Dreams, #4
The weight of the crown presses heavily on Harri as the day of his coronation approaches. Surrounded by his gathered kin, trusted friends, and noble allies, he prepares to take on the mantle of kingship, but not without charting a new course for his kingdom. Among the honoured guests, Harri has invited the druids of the old faith, signalling a shift toward healing and unity. Central to his vision is the construction of a new healer’s hall.
Ffion, daughter of the Head of the Druid’s Order, arrives in Melthkior to fulfil her sacred role in the Heir’s Blessing ceremony. Intelligent, perceptive, and deeply connected to the old ways, Ffion finds herself intrigued by Harri—by his ideals, his burdens, and his unwavering resolve. But it’s the vision of the healer’s hall that stirs something deeper within her.
When unexpected forces disrupt the ceremony, goddesses Arianrhod and Creiddylad intervene, setting in motion a fate neither Harri nor Ffion could foresee—one steeped in dreams, curses, and the delicate bloom of hope.
Daffodils and Dreams is a rich and lyrical retelling of the Brothers Grimm’s Little Briar Rose, blending fairytale romance with the deep-rooted enchantment of Welsh mythology. As the fourth instalment in the Brodyr Alarch series, it continues the sweeping journey of Sealed with a Curse, where each brother’s fate is entwined with ancient magic, divine meddling, and the power of love to break even the oldest of spells
Bridge of Bones, #3
In a high secluded tower, hidden away from the world, Delyth has spent her life under the enchantments of the sorceress Eirlys, her golden hair bound by ancient magic, but she longs to be free. Meanwhile, Macsen receives a vision from Cerridwen, guiding him away from the school where he has lived for so long, to the tower—and to the one who waits inside.
Macsen never expected to become entangled in a sorceress’ curse, nor to fall for the quietly dignified girl who refuses to be a damsel in distress. But as the power of Eirlys tightens its grip, both Delyth and Macsen must fight in their own way to break the spell—if they hope to claim their happily ever after.
