What a magnificently descriptive start to this exquisite novel! In the first look of this novel, readers are first taken on a flight with Keelin, the chieftain's gifted daughter, only to find out in the first chapter that this flight was only a dream -- a recurring dream at that. Throughout the first look we get a feel for who this Keelin is as a character, and also get to know her sidekick Rua. This work of historical fiction is sure to draw in readers who are looking for a work of art filled with blood, rivalry, and a love-hate relationship with a lad, of course!
