The Cursing Stones
The Cursing Stones | Sonya Bateman
1 post | 1 read
Home is where the monsters are... Rhiannon 'Rain' Finlay sucks at being a druid. Her gift of communicating with animals works just fine, but she doesn't know a Thurisaz rune from a Wunjo, and she can't even cast a circle of protection without a cheat sheet. That's why she decided to leave her tiny village on the Isle of Parthas, North Sea, for a normal non-magical life halfway around the world. But when her beloved grandfather disappears along with a handful of villagers, she's forced to return home and use her gift -- and her crappy druid magic -- to help them. Unfortunately, she's not exactly prepared to face the very real monsters that are popping up all over, from mutant spiders to banshees, black dogs ... and worse. That's when she learns all the crazy stories her father told her growing up, about the old deserted castle on the island having belonged to King Arthur, might not be so crazy after all. The legends are real. They're returning to Parthas. And they have unfinished business with Rain Finlay.

I hate it when everyone is keeping the main character in the dark. The cursing stones themselves were interesting, but mixing fae, King Arthur and Druids together was kind of meh. Plus the main character learned to use a sword practically overnight.
