Author Description

Rioghan is a young woman who carries the blood of both Sidhe and Man. She is a midwife, a healer, and a guardian of fairy treasure, and lives alone in a sacred cave in the forest. She has only the secretive Fair Folk and her pack of loyal wolfhounds for company and protection. Donaill is the king's champion and the finest warrior at the nearby fortress of Cahir Cullen, and is quite drawn to the beautiful Rioghan. But one night a few other men of the fortress catch sight of the treasure in the sacred cave and decide they will take it for themselves. And there is another darkness at Cahir Cullen: A jealous young temptress is determined to make Donaill her own, no matter what dark magic she must use. Rioghan finds that she, too, must decide how far into darkness she will go to protect her home, the Fair Folk, the ancient treasure, and the man she loves. NOTE: Battlefield violence and cruel magic, though all is well in the end. A few brief scenes of encounters between consenting adults over the age of 21.
