Brennus' Witch

Professor Bennus Monroe teaches ancient religions at the university. He holds a very dark secret within himself. He is a vampire with a grudge. Brennus was born in 600 B.C. and later became a druid priest. An evil priest named Vortimere became obsessed with Brennus. When Vortimere realized he could not have Brennus, he tortured and murdered him. Brennus begged his gods to avenge his death.This was how Brennus came to be a vampire. When a love spell wrecks havoc on Brennus, he goes on to search for the true source where he finds the gorgeous and sweet wiccan priest Darien Rhys.

Once Darien and Brennus meet, it is an attraction that cannot be denied by either. As with every love story, they have an obstacle. This obstacle is Vortimere. Vortimere has transported his soul into Darien's body. He will destroy both men because of his jealousy and hatred. Brennus has any one option. He will have to murder Darien on the night of "Feast of the Dead". Darien knows there has to be a better solution then his own death! The solution he comes up with is against both of their principles for it involves dark magic. Plus Brennus will have to believe in Darien and his love. The trust issue might be harder to handle, considering that Darien technically tortured and killed him years ago. Brennus is starting to wonder if love always has to be soo complex Darien and Brennus must work to find a solution that will allow them to trust again.

Brennus' Witch is a fantastic read. The characters' development is done with careful thought and heart felt emotion. Brennus is truly a tortured hero who will reach the reader with his anguish and pain. His perfect lover is Darien, who symbolizes everything that is lacking in Brennus's life:honesty, love and innocence. The evil that occurred to Brennus was horrible and deserves revenge. How this revenge comes about is clever and will surprise those that indulge in this story. Enjoy!
