Once in a while, an engaging story comes from a debut author and you ask yourself, how could have I missed it? Such is the case with C. H. MacLean when I found “One is Come.” And then I realized that I did have the book, read it and loved it!
It was my fault that I did not follow through. And now, the fifth book is due Winter of 2017.
In anticipation of the fifth book, here are the first four books of the Five in Circle series. I have only read the first book, I confess. But, I know that all the other three will be as engaging as the first.
One is Come
Love dragons and magic?
The centuries-old prophesy of the One is being fulfilled, and the ancient dragon clans are coming out of hiding to remake the world. The king of the magic users will stop at nothing to be sure the prophecy is fulfilled the right way–with his oppressive government ruling. As they struggle for power, Haylwen (14) and her brother Cadarn (16) just happen to be caught dead center.
Available at Amazon: One is Come
Two Empty Thrones
With her powers growing every day, fourteen-year-old Haylwen Rightad thinks she’s safe in the magical forest. But she’s not out of the woods yet. Old enemies rip through her beloved forest, threatening to haul Haylwen and her newfound friends away. Haylwen and her brother must unmask this mysterious enemy before they can fight it off.
But even if all their enemies are destroyed, the King of the magic users will stop at nothing to ensure he’s still in power when the dragons take over the world. And he’s hidden an enemy where Haylwen would never think to look. If no one is what they seem, who can she trust?
Available at Amazon: Two Empty Thrones
We the Three
A magical princess in an amazing castle, Haylwen has finally found her true home. But old customs seem to die really slowly. The politics to confirm her father as king shoves her to the side. But, she cannot hide what she is much longer. With powerful magic users working against her, she might be forced to act. And then there’s the dragons – pulling the strings, and unwilling to hide anymore. When the three clans burst out, the world will never be the same.

Four Other Ayes
The dragons wait no more. Only the true king of magic users could possibly stop the destruction.
The dragon attacks mean humans are out of time. But Haylwen’s brother needs one more vote to ratify him as king, and it seems only she knows the extent of what’s at stake. Haylwen makes the tough choice and risks her home to travel to get the vote of the Queen of the Hidden. In a race against time, she leaves her brother alone to defend their home and the world against fireballs and deceit.
