Marcus and Mandubratius are foes that are now immortal blood drinkers from two different lines. They both seek an artifact, that in the wrong hands, can tip the power scales to favor the more villainous. Marcus is a former Roman soldier who you could come to respect and Mandubratius is a Briton you'd come to loath. This book takes place in the time frame of hundreds of years. There are a lot of new people and mystical beings introduced along the way and I did find myself getting confused as More...

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. Morrigan's Brood is about vampires. That word is actually never used--they're called blood drinkers. I enjoyed the story; it's different from other vampire books. There are several "lines" or families of blood drinkers, each started by a god or goddess. They each have different talents and weaknesses and they don't get along with each other.
The story starts at the time of Julius Caesar and spans over 500 years. Many of More...

Morrigan's Brood is a highly promising start to the series. Whilst the first few chapters are somewhat slow to get going, it is well worth sticking with it and paying attention to all the background being laid down, because when the action begins in earnest, it is entrancing!

The amount of research and planning that clearly went into this novel is apparent from the beginning, and the reader reaps the reward of a setting and group of characters that are realistic and accurate to the ti More...

Greetings Goodreaders!

I am Christopher Dunbar, one of the co-authors of Morrigan's Brood, and I wanted to provide a brief introduction to the first book in the Morrigan's Brood series.

The Morrigan's Brood Series

The Morrigan's Brood series combines elements of dark fantasy, historical fiction, and vampire lore to tell a story of lines of blood-drinkers, each derived from the gods and goddesses of cultures the world over, vying for control in the ancient world, More...

This is a rousing start to a promising series of books.If you love vampires, and ancient history, this is the series for you.

Morrigan's Brood gives is a combination of the Celtic and the Greek vampires lines in the World Chris and Heather Dunbar has created.

The History and texture of the ancient worlds combined with Vampire mythology gives you a rich tapestry of characters, conflicts and characters that make you want to know more.

I can't wait for Crone of Wa More...

A very exciting first chapter leads me to believe this will eventually be a great series. I will definately keep reading as they come out because the story really started picking up towards the end. It was a little slow thru the next few chapters when then spend a great deal of time on historical references and two mens lives in and around ancient Roman/Ceasar battles. However, all of the history of these two mens lives and battles are important to the plot and it is worth getting thru. I loved More...

found it hard to get into as the first few chapters have lots of info some male readers would find interesting battles etc. the rest of the book was very god strong characters and the sequel is at the top of my to be read pile. But first grandchild born on 25th Nov and Christmas festivites means very little time for reading.
