Rendition During Books Three Wells of the Sea (Three Wells of the Sea #1)
An alternate cover for this ASIN can be found here.Our world and the Five Quarters are shadows of one another, joined by death and three wells of the sea. . .
When Nechtan, warrior king of the Five Quarters is murdered, he leaves his land on the brink of civil war. His closest adviser, the druid Lyleth, has a price on her head and the evidence to condemn the real killer. Seeking to unify the land, she strikes a bargain with her green gods and weaves a forgotten spell to summon her king from the land of the dead.
Hugh Cavendish is torn from his life as a high school English teacher and pitched back into the turmoil of his previous life as king Nechtan. If he and Lyleth fail to regain his throne and prevent civil war, the ice-born reaver known as the Bear waits to snatch up the scraps of the kingdom. As Hugh clings to life in our world, in the other he must face the rebellion as well as the Bear. If he lets go of life in either world he will lose not only his kingdom but the woman he loves.

I was expecting just a regular fantasy novel, and was pleasantly surprised when it did not begin in a typical European fantasy setting (though it does end up there), but rather in a modern one. The book goes back and forth between these two worlds much as the characters do. Madden has blended Celtic mythology with her own imagination to create a comprehensive and interesting world. By far I was the most impressed by the characters. When we are

Very engaging read - the storyline is well thought out and although the plot is complex at times, the writing makes it easy enough to still understand everything that is going on. I enjoyed the way the story was able to seamlessly jump in between worlds as well as the fact that the plot stayed interesting to the end - my predictions kept being wrong!

Her characters are many-layered and relatable, and their challenges are truly of mythic proportions. It's been a while since I dove immediately from the first book in a series to the next, but
An old-school portal fantasy, harking back to the roots of all portal fantasy, as introduced by George MacDonald: the Celtic Otherworld. I don't usually read portal stories or Celtic fantasy any more, but this was a good one.There are two protagonists, one in each world, and both of them are focussed on the same man in two versions. A rebellious schoolboy in our world's California knows the man as his teacher and mentor; to a druid in the Otherworld, he is the king to whom she is bound. Life and
