What if the ancient gods, myths and legends of Britain came alive?

Steeped in the rich mythology, history, and folklore of Arthurian Age Britain, the Islands in the Mist series transports readers to a world where ancient prophecies, powerful priestesses, and legendary warriors still shape the fate of the land.

From Book 1: A darkness only a deal with Death can defeat.

When the mysterious deaths of his mother and a revered chieftain shatter his clan, battle-hardened warrior Bran sets out to uncover the truth behind a growing darkness. Joined by Lucia, a young widow burdened with prophetic visions, and an unlikely band of allies, he soon discovers the enemy stalking his people is far older and more terrifying than anyone imagined.

Islands in the Mist

Islands in the Mist starts off the series, also called, Islands in the Mist, by J M Hofer. I am not one that likes to read fantasy. I usually am not able to easily follow along those stories. However, that was not the case with this book. I enjoyed going back in time to Britain during the Iron Age. The author brilliantly brings to life Welsh mythology. I loved meeting the main character, the great warrior Bran. He took me on an adventure to a new world of intrigue, danger, mystery, suspense, and romance. I had no difficulty in keep turning the pages and keep reading from scene to scene. I did not want to put it down until the very end. Of course, it ends with me wanting more and more. I thought it was a great example why I should go outside my comfort zone and read something new. I would have missed out on a great read if I had not given this one a chance. I am giving Islands in the Mist five stars. I have no doubt readers who love to read historical fantasy fiction will love it as much as me. I can not wait to get the second installment from the Islands in the Mist series, Across the Sea, in my hands to see what J M Hofer has in store for their characters and readers. I received a digital copy of J M Hofer's Islands in the Mist from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
