Embracing the Druid
Sabrina Plumb DeCastraβs debut novel in the Tales of the Traveling Troglodyte Collection
βAn utterly charming cozy fantasy! Whimsical, heartfelt, and impossible not to fall in love with.β
- Breanne Randall, NYT Best Selling Author
An approachable, low-stakes fantasy novel with a slow burn romance featuring a Flynn Rider inspired bard.
A woman stumbles across a sentient traveling tavern from another realm discovering she is a druid and the key to saving it from an unexplainable darkness.
A dangerously handsome, potentially untrustworthy bard. A quest for the toad mafia. Singing mushrooms. Killer moss. And a darkness only one druid can defeat.
Perfect for readers whoβ¦.

Sabrina Plumb DeCastra
Sabrina Plumb DeCastra has always had a love of fantasy, nature and writing but it was only recently that she gave herself permission to embrace it.
When she finally stopped ignoring the nagging sensation that βthere has to be more to life than thisβ she wrote down those words and Embracing the Druid was created. She is actively working on the second and third books in this introductory trilogy to the collection of interconnected stories in the Tales of the Traveling Troglodyte.
Inspired by the worlds and captivating characters her and her friends create when they play Dungeons and Dragons, Sabrina envisions this collection like the Marvel Cinematic Universe of fantasy.
Sabrina lives in Northeast Ohio with her husband and deaf pit bull where she spends her days exploring their backyard woods in search of barred owls, mushrooms and anything she can add to the world of Forellessence.
