Bell Branch Book One of the Éire Chronicles
When the immortals of ancient Ireland - Eire - return to battle for the soul of the land, an unsuspecting woman in San Francisco sets out upon a journey for which she will never return. Thomas Fitzgerald, the Earl of Desmond, has managed his double-life for over a millennia as he waits for his lost love to return to him. The pain and rage of an eternity threaten to destroy the land and people he is charged to protect. Will this fatal flaw destroy all that is sacred? Will it destroy Eire? Anne Eriksson, a dancer and an art conservator for the de Young Museum, discovers a painting with a mysterious glyph that she knows has to be a message from her late husband, Daniel. All Anne's attempts to discover the secret of the glyph fail until fate brings her to Dublin and the world of the old Irish gods collide with her world as she finds herself caught up in a darkly disturbing web. What must she discover about herself that will heal her grief for Daniel and make sense of a world grown suddenly larger and more dangerous than she ever imagined possible? Step into the world of the old gods and discover how their deeds, their struggles, their feuds and their loves remain alive today. Walk with them as they walk among us and truly understand that "as above, so below" shapes all our destinies."
