UPDATE: Re-read July 2021
I don’t know how I love this book more each time. The first time I read it I was on vacation and super distracted and couldn’t get into the story the way I wanted.

Forbidden Love, A quest to find the Lay Line and Glendower. This was quite a slow book to start with But as it got on it more interesting. Fantastic that the story is told trough a number of the characters in the novel, which helps with the story. All in all a good read and I will be looking forward to the next book.
