I loved this book! I've always liked reading historical fiction, and this book was no exception, and it was in an era (~89 AD) that I've never read about before. The setting, beautiful, mystical, Eire, and the cover were what initially drew me to this book.

The main character, Keelin, is a young woman with a warrior's spirit, who has the magical gift of healing, and is studying to be a priestess of The Dagda, though she struggles with this, as she has an adventurous spirit, and doesn't really want to have the solitary life of a priestess. However, when her beloved country is on the brink of invasion by the Roma, she is compelled to use her powers of healing and "mind control" to aide her country, and her countrymen.

Strong family/clan ties, beautiful setting, epic battles, spies, mysticism....all combined in a beautifully written story, makes this one a must read.
