Hoyt is a celtic sorcerer who loses his brother, Cian to Lilith the Vampire queen. He pleads to the Morrigan for his brothers life, she tells him that he has to travel in time to find a circle of six to fight Lilith as she is going to amass power and bring forward the end of the worlds. "The witch, the warrior, the scholar, the one of many forms, and the one you've lost." are who he's told he will gather and will be drawn to him.
Some of the issues I had were varied. The Claddagh Ring is named after a part of Galway city, a city I lived near for years, it is not spelt Claddaugh, trust me, no matter how you look at it. There is no Y in old, middle or modern Irish, so a character with the name Hoyt as your time-traveller is just plain ludicrous. The Morrigan is a WAR GODDESS not a goodness and light goddess, in fact if you want fire and a goddess why not Bridgid? Eternal flame and all that? Last but not least, a celtic goddess giving crosses? Ah now, please do a little more research than that. I'm not going to even start on the pronounciation guide, cause it almost got ripped out of the book.
It wasn't the worst I've read, some of the scenes were interesting but it failed to impress me.
