Sealed with a Curse — Brodyr Alarch Book 0

The root from which seven books grew.

A kingdom in mourning. Six princes whose grief turned cruel. Selene, the Swan Herder of Melthkior, who grew up alongside the princes and now endures their mockery and who, when the gods of Wales intervene and a curse takes hold, never doubts that they deserve saving and is determined to do so.

Sealed with a Curse is the unifying thread of the Brodyr Alarch series, the framework that holds seven fairytale retellings woven through Welsh mythology into a single mythic tapestry. Welsh mythology, Brothers Grimm, divine interference, and a heroine whose courage is quiet and entirely real.

The series begins here.

The start of a great series!!!
This is BY FAR one of my favorite book series. The authors set it up really well and give backstory and pertinent information without getting lost in flashbacks or dragging on forever. Plus I like the references to native American culture and mythology!

Reasons I love this series...

1.) Vampires
2.) A "naked" cat/demon
3.) It makes me laugh!

Jaye Wells has created an amazing world that is a combination of fantasy, biblical mythology, and humor!

She has made up words (trampire being my fav.)...

And she has started us on an amazing adventure that I cannot wait to finish!

4 Stars...LOVE IT!

Welsh sacred water mythology sits at the heart of August's theme, and this week, it's worth looking at what the tradition actually understands about wisdom and how it moves through the world.

The sacred pool in Welsh mythology isn't a simple magical resource. It's a repository of accumulated virtue, built through generations of genuine attention. The hazel drops its nuts of knowledge into the water. The salmon rises and carries what it receives upstream through patience and persistence, the wisdom becoming embodied over time rather than simply possessed.

That model — wisdom earned through experience and accumulated through continuing — runs through the Welsh mythological tradition and through a significant portion of the Story Hearth catalogue. The sacred pool, the upstream journey, the patient accumulation of what the season gives. August is exactly the right month for it.

Love the series
The details in this book are a nod to both native and witch craft and there is no disappointment if you are an avid mystery lover. The cliffs will have you crawling back for more

Keep it Creepy, Keep it Cool
I am relatively new to the world of Podcasts and luckily for me Spirits was one of the first I came across. It immediately became a must listen for me. I love learning the history of various mythologies and stories from around the world, as well as the hilarious tangents that the girls often go down.

This novel allowed for very interesting views into the life of Bruce Lee. There is much exploration into the mysterious aspects of Bruce Lee's life in this memoir.

I enjoyed how he strips the mythology of Bruce Lee from the man and gives readers a view into the "real" man underneath.

I would definitely recommend this to people who are interested in Bruce Lee.

I really enjoyed this book. As a lover of fairy tales and mythology, it was the premise of the main character being a half Native American coyote shifter that interested me the most. Mercy being an out of the ordinary heroine having a background in history and being mechanic was something of plus. This little coyote has what it takes to run with the big bad wolves.
