The Druid Chronicles is a historical fiction series set in Anglo-Saxon Britain during a time known alternatively as the early medieval period or the Dark Ages. Books 1, 3, 4, and 5 follow the members of a once influential Druid cult as they venture outside of the hidden sanctuary where they’d previously remained aloof from the otherwise relentless spread of Christianity. Book 2 begins a generation earlier and recounts the events that set the main story in motion.

About the Author: Ann Margaret Linden was born in Seattle, Washington, but grew up on the East Coast before returning to the Pacific Northwest as a young adult. She has undergraduate degrees in anthropology and in nursing and a master’s degree as a nurse practitioner. After working in a variety of acute care and community health settings, she took a position in a program for children with special health care needs where her responsibilities included writing a variety of program related materials.
The Druid Chronicles began as a somewhat whimsical decision to write something for fun and ended up becoming a lengthy journey that involved Linden taking adult education creative writing courses, researching early British history, and traveling to England, Scotland, and Wales. Now retired from nursing, she lives with her husband in the northwest corner of Washington State where she is active in a local writers’ group as well as continuing as an advocate for children and adults with special needs.
