Set in long ago Eire, this tale of the history of the Irish clans and Ancient Romans begins with the story of Keelan. A sixteen year old girl with the gifts of healing and telepathy, Keelan is studying under the tutelage of Nuala the village healer. Keeping her gifts a secret, Keelan roams her homelands freely gathering the herbs and plants she needs for her studies and chats up the young farmers and warriors of her clan.

It's been a long time since the clans have battled each other and life has been calm for her family and clansmen. But terrible news is coming from afar and her Uncle Liam is bringing it to the clan himself. What will this mean for the clans and for Keelan herself? She's an untried healer, not fully trained, will she be able to help in protecting her family and clansmen?

Journey into the past of Eire and her people as they encounter the Ancient Romans and struggle to maintain the supremacy of their country with a young girl to help lead them.
