This is a wonderful novel that expertly weaves together the stories of two determined women living two thousand years apart. It is fascinating in its realistic depiction of life among the Celtic tribes, and magical in its drawing together of the stories of the two women and their families. Definitely one of the best novels I have ever read, and an unbelievable work of art for a first-time writer. |

An good read that takes the reader to the time Celtic Legends were forged. Don’t miss this exquisitely captured story of magic, ritual, surrender, love and the greatest sacrifice a human can make. Mark |

"The Fox" Arlene Radasky is a true artistic weaver of words in this Ancient Celtic tale of the greatest sacrifice a human can make. She has exquisitely captured the magic and ritual of the daily surrender, love and hardships faced by Jahan and Lovern through the eyes of Aine a 21st century archeologist who is driven to risk her career on her first solo dig. While Aine battles her own demons of loss, love, and fear she unearths the story of Jahan and the Druid Lovern's tribe as they teeter on the verge of Roman occupation and yet, the natural cycle of life and death most go on or their bloodline will cease to exist. |

This is a wonderful tale and a great first novel! Like the blue and red yarns Jahna weaves into her clan tartan, Arlene Radasky weaves together the stories of two women living 2,000 years apart. Looking forward to the next book now! :-) |
