Synopsis

     Healer, witch, and commoner Alainn McCreary battles valiantly to control her growing magical powers and to ignore her doomed yearning for noble Killian O’Brien, a man who is far above her station and betrothed to a noble, dark-eyed Scottish beauty. Alone, she continues her quest to break the bitter curse that dooms not only the powerful O’Brien Clan but also Alainn and Killian’s future happiness. 

     Threatened by dark forces, a powerful chieftain, and a suspicious priest, loyal, valiant and handsomely virile Killian vows to fight at his beloved Alainn’s side even as he realizes time is running out for both of them. 

     The Witch’s Daughter, set in the mystical landscape of ancient Ireland, weaves romance, adventure, and the supernatural into a sensual tale of love and longing that darkly whispers “What wouldn’t you do for love?”

Book Beginning:

  Ireland 1536

In a stare of nearing exhaustion, Alainn dodged the horse and cart trundling into her path and hurried along the crowded street.

My 56:

The elderly man grew sad and nodded. "Aye, as the druid blood grows more dilute, the ways are being lost. And with men such as your husband and many others opposed to passing the teachings onto their children, one day we will be no more, I fear."
