Go back in time, fifty years before the events of New York Times bestselling author P.C. Cast's Partholon books...Something isn't right at Guardian Castle, and Aine can't figure out what. As Healer, she's supposed to be making things better, but there's a darkness that can't be brightened. And then Aine finds an injured Fomorian—winged, dark, blood-thirsty and inherently evil. Or is he? Because there's something about Tegan that Aine can't resist...and once they've shared blood, Aine realizes that everything she's always believed is going to be cast aside....
Aine, a Healer at Guardian Castle, senses a growing darkness that defies her abilities and questions her core beliefs when she encounters an injured Fomorian. As the designated Healer, Aine is tasked with mending what is broken, yet a pervasive gloom at Guardian Castle resists her efforts. Her world is irrevocably altered when she discovers Tegan, a Fomorian—a creature traditionally depicted as winged, dark, and malevolent—who is injured and vulnerable. Despite the inherent evil associated with his kind, Aine finds herself drawn to Tegan, and a forbidden connection forms between them, particularly after they share blood, forcing Aine to confront the possibility that everything she has been taught is a lie.
The premise sets up a narrative that delves into the origins of a conflict within the Partholon universe, exploring themes of forbidden love and the subversion of perceived evil. The focus on a Healer character suggests an exploration of restorative versus destructive forces, while the introduction of a Fomorian challenges established lore. The romantic element, particularly the 'sharing blood' trope, indicates a strong pull towards paranormal romance conventions. The narrative is likely to appeal to fans of the existing Partholon series seeking deeper world-building and character backstories.
