Marybeth frowned. "Dinna ye think it wrong, tae grab the faerie axe by force?”Ashley batted the air as if what Marybeth had said was dismissible. "The faeries gave it tae Ciaran, who gave it tae Eoin. Kelsey stole it from Eoin. 'Tis na wrong for Eoin tae steal it back from her."There are 14 other books in the series!

This is the middle book of the final trilogy in the Dunskey Castle set. Marybeth and her co-workers at an advertising agency, Ashley and Suellen, were accidently time traveled to 70AD Scotland. In this story, they are trying to rescue Donnan, Suellen's love, from the Faeries who have captured him. Center is the silver Faerie Axe that Graduate Druid Kelsey has stolen from Eoin, one of the cursed MacGregor slaves to the Druids with time travel abilities. Other MacGregor warriors Connell, paired with Ashley from her teen years at the Renaissance Faire, and Friseal, now falling for Marybeth, are their experienced helpers since they have been stationed by their Master Druids with other MacGregors at the underground fortress circa the years 70AD for a number of years. Lots of travel by foot and horse through Scotland, encounters with two types of faeries, and war between the Picts, with Jaelle, and the Celts helped by Druids against the Romans helped by the Faeries. Dangerous repelling and stitching sword wounds of lovers! A great read! Recommended! I volunteered this review from an ARC.
War! Can the faerie axe be used to save Donnan from the evil faeries? With a a war going on between Faeries and Druids with humans being used as puppets is there any chance of a rescue and breaking the curse? Fast moving adventure with a blossoming romance in the middle of all the drama. Looking forward to the next book.
The book is sometimes hard to follow with all of the words written in Scottish Gaelic forum. Many things are unresolved and at this point I really don't care. I didn't find the story line as captivating as the others, it is like this book was only partially written.
Things were looking up for the time travelers till magic and power hungry beings create turmoil. I'm not a fan of all the singing and pages of lyrics . Will continue to the end of the saga with these flawed but loveable characters.
I loved The Who,e series but there needs to be more. We need to know what happens to Ashley and the rest of the pairs. Please continue and don’t leave us hanging
