Book Description
When a magic potion goes wrong, the
consequences can reach through centuries….In 10th Century Ireland half-Faerie Siobhan is shunned by both fey and humans. She unwittingly ingests an unscrupulous druid’s potion. Siobhan’s quest to be part of human society leads her down a perilous road that culminates in her summoning forbidden magic that causes suffering to her descendants into the present day.
Drawing from Gaelic folklore and mythology, the story follows a half-Faerie woman who desires to belong in the human world, a clan chieftain who will do anything for an heir, an evil druid who concocts magic potions, time travel, a modern day man who experiences missing time, and a Faerie’s spell that has far reaching consequences.

In the Author’s Own Words
“This book came about decades ago when I
wondered what it would be like if a real fairy traveled from long ago to the
present. The 9th and 10th centuries in Ireland are not well documented as little
remains, so I filled in the gaps with my imagination. I have always been
fascinated by the stories of the daoine sidhe or Tuatha De Danann. According to
Celtic and Gaelic myths, these were beings who came from the sky in shining
ships. They possessed powers humans did not and lived long lives.
I
did a tremendous amount of research to get the historical aspects somewhat
correct. The setting in Washington state came about because my parents lived
there for quite a while and there are vast tracts of forested mountain terrain
devoid of people. Ideal for a portal from the past.”
