Celtic Maidens tells the story of Siân whose life holds few pleasures except for her friends, her interest in local folklore and the standing stones until the day that Ryan Ackley arrives in her remote Welsh village. Siân and Ryan are reincarnations of Celtic lovers who were slaughtered long ago. They are unaware that obsessive love, power struggles and murder have followed them down through the ages. Thwarted in ancient times, a murderous spirit has followed them through time and now, with them all reunited in the 21st century, he plans to fulfil his malevolent vendetta.

Review
Set in the Preseli mountains in Wales, Ceri has gifted her prospective readers with a charming dark fairytale. As a first novel it shows much promise of great works to come. The writing style is atmospheric, chatty and comfortable. It will appeal to those who lean towards wiccan principles and earth worship. The story begins gently towards an incremental crescendo of heightened emotions in an all too believable tale, which adds to its allure. The use of archetypal characters woven into a modern supernatural tale works well in this case. The artwork on the cover of the book invites you into the mystery to stay awhile, and with the right production team it would probably make a good drama for television. --Jade Ashcroft

How to start...this book is wonderful. From page one you are drawn into the story. Ceri has expertly brought together history and fantasy to spin a fantastic tale, as good as any bard from the time of our ancestors. Ceri weaves a tale of two souls entwined through history and reunited in the 21st century but followed by the same malignant energies that destroyed them both in ancient times. More of the plot I dare not disclose but if, like me, you love stories encompassing old world history and the addition of modern mystery then this is a must read! I haven't been able to put it down! To do this book justice it must be read. No review could explain it. --Julia Rowland
