The Gift of Life

A 19th-century shepherd offers himself as a Druidic sacrifice in order to protect his family ... and discovers too late that his life has been a sham.

Bryn Cadogan’s household is chosen by Druids to provide their next human sacrifice. To protect his family he decides to keep the dreadful news secret and give up his own life. But, when the time comes, Bryn is shocked to discover that his loved ones are themselves devotees of paganism ... and that he was their intended victim all along.
