Features & Highlights

  • Three epics of druids, dragons, demigods, and danger in one massive volume!
  • Legacies are forged through sacrifice.
  • Book 1: Druid’s Dance (newly revised/edited edition)
  • Elijah Wadsworth lost his parents and twin sister in what he thought was little more than a tragic accident. But five years later, when Elijah begins manifesting strange abilities--which he neither understands nor can control--he discovers his family has been at the center of a cosmic battle for centuries... and his family's death was likely no accident at all. A mysterious "girl in black" with dark, magical abilities pursues him, hoping to lure him to her cause. After coming into possession of a mystical stone, which transports Elijah into his deceased father’s ancient memories, Elijah and his closest friends must discover the source of his power together lest his newfound abilities drain his very soul, and open up our world to the blight of Samhuinn. When a girl he loves, however, is threatened he must make a choice to either save her by joining the sorceress, the "girl in black," or save the world.
  • Book 2: Bard’s Tale
  • The Tree of Life—the source of Elijah’s power—is failing. Creatures from Samhuinn are breaking through the veil and terrorizing St. Louis. As the Tree weakens, Elijah’s abilities are failing. Will Elijah be able to stop the incursions before his powers fade completely?
  • Book 3: Ovate’s Call
  • Elijah’s Ovate—Tyler—is visited by a strange, but alluring, princess from Annwn. He's immediately captivated by her--but Elijah fears the princess has ulterior motives. Is the princess who she claims to be, or is she another pawn in the Morrigan's scheme? The cosmic struggle between Elijah, his Order, and the Morrigan and her legions comes to a head in the final installment of the Gates of Eden: the Druid Legacy Trilogy.
  • Readers of Theophilus Monroe’s
  • Voodoo Academy
  • from the Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy will naturally adore the Druid Legacy. Combined with Celtic mythology and Arthurian lore, this druid urban fantasy is a compelling installment in the Gates of Eden world. With magical fantasy adventure romance, a snarky male hero, and a plethora of characters taken straight from Arthurain lore and the Celtic world of myth, this time travel epic fantasy will keep readers enthralled from start to finish.

Excellent Spin on the Tales of King Arthur

I certainly enjoyed this trilogy that blends Arthurian mythology with modern-day characters and places. I thought the first book was a little uneven in its pacing but still enjoyable. The author upped the stakes in the second and third books, both of which I enjoyed. I like it when authors gather books of a trilogy into one convenient box set. That way, you don't even have to go to an online bookseller to pick up the next installment!

Here’s my review of the first book:

Druid’s Dance: Modern Arthurian Fantasy
While fantasy isn't my go-to read, I do enjoy a few authors, and I'm always on the lookout for new authors and series. This series certainly has promise. The author pulls you right into the story with a dramatic and tragic event in the young hero's life. I thought the pacing was a little off at times. Sometimes, a lot was happening, while at others, I felt like I was waiting for something interesting to happen. But, overall, I still enjoyed the story. I nearly always enjoy a spin on Arthurian tales and characters, especially if there are druids! I look forward to seeing what will happen in the next book.

I received a free copy of this box set, but that did not affect my review.

Highly entertaining!

I love this book set. Theophilus Monroe is a fantastic writer who draws the reader into a fantasy world like no other. The stories follow two teenage boys and a girl as they find out they are a Druid, a Bard, and an Ovate just like in the time of Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table. I can't wait to read more of his books. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to read fantasy

Great boxed set!

I loved this series! The character development was everything I've come to expect from Mr. Monroe - complex, involved, and realistic! Same with the story world. I love Merlin stories and I love Druid books, so what's not to like with this book? :) I highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in the Merlin mythos or Druid mythology. Fantasy lovers can't go wrong with Mr. Monroe's works!

Loved It!

The trilogy captures you right from the start and continues with book 2 and 3. It had all the magic and action of King Arthur , Maid of the mist , Druids, Fairies, Cyclops. Great world building and character building. I also like it when authors gather books of a trilogy into one convenient box set. That way, you don't even have to go to an online bookseller to pick up the next installment! Keep the stories coming!

Great fantasy read

This series focuses on Elijah who discovers he has magic and must protect the world from the Morrigan with his friends. If you love fantasy then this is a book you will love. It has everything from Merlin to altered time travel in it mixed with druids and dryads and everything in between. It's nicely done. I volunteered to read this book via Booksprout.
