The Quarry

<b>Set in early medieval Britain and perfect for Lord of the Rings fans, this fourth installment of The Druid Chronicles tells the story of a Saxon sheriff who's on the hunt for fugitive Druids--unaware that he is being pursued as well.</b> <p/>Forced to flee their previous sanctuary, a small band of goddess-worshipping Britons reach a high mountain valley, believed to be the site of their cult's ancestral home, to find its stone towers reduced to rubble. With only a matter of months before winter sets in, they face the all but impossible task of making habitable dwellings and gathering enough food stores to survive the coming storms. <p/>Time is equally pressing for a pair of Christian Saxon lovers who have traveled from the capital city of Atheldom to the remote shire of Codswallow to kill the woman's husband before he finds out that she is pregnant. <p/>Meanwhile, fresh from tracking down a runaway princess, Stefan, the sheriff of Codswallow, sets out on a new mission--to capture a band of pagans rumored to be witches and sorcerers--unaware that he is being hunted by deadly enemies of his own.
