Publisher's Synopsis
In this dark, present-day tale, Irish-born Arianna Sullivan is raised in the States following her mother's mysterious death. On the night her father dies, he appears to her with cryptic instructions to return to her birthplace. Upon her return to Ireland, she finds her fate intricately intertwined with that of a tall, dark and enigmatic Irishman: a man bearing an uncanny resemblance to someone she grew up with. In her dreams.Caleb MacNamara is the Chief Brehon of the Túatha de Danann. Plagued by a primeval enchantment, the males of their race are forbidden to mate with a mere mortal woman-the penalty for doing so, the woman's gruesome death. After three thousand years, the evil Geis is reaching its deadline. And unless a mortal woman appears and succeeds in an impossible quest, a demonic abomination will be released upon all humankind. When Caleb meets Arianna, he recognizes the little mortal as the woman who has forever haunted his nights. Could the lucid dreams mean she's the Woman of Promise foreshadowed by the sacred scrolls? And have the Fates chosen him to champion her against Anathema, the Beast shackled by a divine slumber, buried deep within the bowels of the earth? If so, he knows he'll have to control his ravening lust for the girl...or risk killing her himself.
