In the shadow of Ireland's rolling hills and ancient forests, two women cling to their faith in the old gods as they grieve the loss of their husbands, martyrs of a forgotten era. It's 1609, and the once-sacred traditions of the land are fading, forced underground as the Christian faith tightens its grip.

Enter Lanecea, a timekeeper bound to the Celtic god Cernunnos. Raised in the modern world but tied to the past through blood and spirit, she is both a guardian of ancient legacies and a woman haunted by her own painful history. When news of her lover Storm's new child with the dangerous Herja sends her reeling, Lanecea seeks refuge in what she knows best - genealogical records, where she stumbles upon the story of a long-forgotten family in Ireland.

At the urging of the dryads, her faithful companions, Lanecea embarks on a journey through time, arriving in a world steeped in danger, where believers in the old ways are hunted and the land cries out for its protectors. Here, she will meet Ellis and bear witness to a mother's dying wish-that her son, George, be raised by someone who understands the power of the gods.

But as Lanecea grapples with the betrayals of her present life and the weight of the past, she must decide: Will she remain a passive observer of history, or become the sanctuary these people desperately need?

"The Time Keeper's Sanctuary" is a sweeping tale of faith, sacrifice, and the timeless struggle between the old and the new. With the fate of both the past and her heart in the balance, Lanecea's journey will test her loyalty to the gods and the ones she loves most.
