But magic works strangely at times... whoops, wrong story. What worked strangely in this case was awen, poetic inspiration. The upshot is that I'm writing a sort of spin-off or prequel to the series, not narrated by Gwernin, about a 1st century CE Druid... to be called The Druid's Son. Gwernin's next book (when it gets finished, probably in 2013) will now have a different title: The Fallen Stones.
