I was hoping this was an extension of the Immortal Highlander McDonnel Clan but it is not exactly that. It is a sort of spin-off but the only repeating character is Bhaltair Flen, the druid. This series has a whole new feel to it.

The Scaraven are a clan who were bred to be warriors to the Pritani and druids. They were slaves who were never allowed to speak to women and who went to their deaths protecting mankind from two crazy druids and their creatures called famhairean, immortals shaped like humans but made from trees.

He famhairean and the crazy druids were trapped for thousands of years but have now escaped and abducted five women with druid blood to travel back to medieval Scotland to get revenge on the druids who imprisoned them and kill all mortal kind.

The only ones who can stop them are the Scaraven so they are awakened and given immortality.

After I got over my disappointment of this being a new series, I became caught up in this story. It's different from the previous series which is good because I would have been annoyed if it was the same with different characters. I'm going to continue reading it. ( )
