Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

How far would you go for your country? For your family? For love?Áine McDevlin would fight, kill ... and die for it. For all of them. She would even be resurrected for it. But in saving one, she could lose another-everything. Ireland, 1701. An impoverished village celebrates Christmas quietly, in fear of English Protestant redcoats roaming the area to bully Irish Catholics into submission. However, the gears of the Jacobite rebellion keep turning, ever reigning the people Áine loves back into battle. Áine and her brother, Donovan, are desperate to fight the English together on the battlefield, but her parents have other plans for her-marriage and grandchildren. Nunnery? Out of the question. The opportunities in life for a poor Irish Catholic lass are finite. In death ... they are endless. As The Twelve Days of Christmas pass, a centuries-old creature awakens, putting the fairies and mermaids on high alert. Witches and Seers have prophesied this very moment ... waiting for this unnatural predator to arise from a long sleep. Liam and Bridget McDevlin are no exception as this time-worn tale of betrayal and grief bleeds into their peaceful lives-threatening their only daughter. The McDevlins beg for the sister's help at the church. But will prayers, candles and rosaries be enough? Will magic be needed to keep their daughter safe? Will Áine find her own way to safety ... to salvation?This gothic retelling of Irish folklore and mythical creatures mingles with historical fiction, the meaning of near death experiences, curse breaking true love, unexpected miracles and a heroine's destiny to become what she always dreamed.
