Publisher's Synopsis
Avalon's wisdom school, transformed and transferred....full of Celtic magic, the powers of Second Sight, visionary spirituality, and McLaine clan history. On 16th-century Mull off the coast of Scotland, three wise women sustain the clan Mclaine with practical advice, vision, and -- when needed -- magic. Ishbel, the youngest, is threatened from birth by her father's determination to kill her. But she survives under the protection of her grandfather, the clan's chief, and of her amazing grandmother, until she is ready to go to the Wise Gormal and The Doidag in the safety of the sacred mountain, Ben Mor, where she learns, not only magic, but difficult lessons that are far more essential to true wisdom. The ordinary becomes the extraordinary as compassion and love answer hate and battle lust.
