I've been really struggling to come up with a better title for this book.
There are literally dozens of books called "The Wolf at the Door" already in existence, although many only exist in Ispace, accessible by Ponder Stibbons with the aid of Hex.
This morning I am seriously considering
"The Secrets of the Deru-Weidi"
Any thoughts?
A word or two about the name I chose to use for the Druids.
Everyone knows about the Druids, although very little is known about them. We have the writings of Julius Caesar, and a few other sources. We have absolutely no idea what they were called in the Celtic language/s.
It is generally accepted that the word Druid stems from the word for an oak tree. I took a proto-Celtic word, still extant in Welsh and other Celtic languages, and got Deru. Another word, meaning wise, gave me Weido (Weidi in the plural)
I can't prove that this was ever the local word for the mysterious mages of iron-age NW Europe, but nobody can prove it wasn't.
